Review: The removal of the Eisenhower Tree certainly did nothing to make this long, uphill par-4 any easier. In fact, it played tougher than ever this year — sixth toughest for the week — thanks to the fast and dry conditions of the 78th Masters. The tiny green was the hardest to hold, which made for some wild and whooly up-and-downs. None were better than the one executed by Bubba Watson on his 71st hole. His chip on from the front left him an six-foot, downhill, sidehill slider, which he drained to solidy his three-shot lead.
