Perhaps the players shouldn’t have complained on Thursday about the unexpected and uncharacteristically slow greens at the Masters.
Friday’s pin placements on cut day — when the field is reduced to top-50 and ties — are wicked.
Thirteen greens feature pin placements that are five paces or less from an edge.
“Hole locations are a great balance of accessible and difficult, such that accurate and committed shots will be rewarded,” according to Golf Channel analyst Notah Begay.
No. 1 is four paces from the left, 13 paces off the front.
No. 2 is four paces from the right, 17 off the front.
No. 3 is five paces from the left, 11 off the front.
No. 4 is 19 paces from the front, but the pin is placed just a few paces from the bunker in the front.
No. 6 is five paces from the left, 26 paces from the front.
No. 7 is four paces from the right, nine paces from the front.
No. 8 is five paces from the left, 37 paces from the front.
No. 9 is four paces from the left, 29 from the front.
No. 10 is four paces from the left, 16 from the front.
No. 13 is five paces from the left, 16 from the front.
No. 15 is five paces from the left, 16 from the front.
No. 16 is four paces from the left, 33 from the front.
No. 18 is five paces from the right, 11 from the front.
