Some of the usual suspects have given golfers trouble. And it's not at all a surprise that the Par 4 holes caused the most trouble.
The worst offender has been the 11th hole It's given up just seven birdies so far, and has 15 double bogeys (or worse!) this week.
On the easy side of things, the Par 5 holes are right where you'd expect them to be. That's about the only place a golfer can chase numbers at Augusta National.
The 570-yard, par 5 8th hole is the easiest hole so far, with four eagles, 73 birdies, 89 pars, and just 12 bogeys.
Right behind 8 is the newly-extended 585-yard Par 5 second hole. It's playing a 4.6742 average, with two eagles, 71 birdies and 92 pars.
