David - it really is remarkable, especially because from what I can tell it's not smoke and mirrors, ie I've been 'following' him on shot tracker, and it's one solid drive after another, one crisp (and smart) approach after another -- from never a long hitter on a long wet golf course. A testament to his physical, mental and spiritual stengths; and has been said a million times before, a testament to Augusta's true and abiding greatness as a course/design: that the very best do indeed shine there, but the once-young greats (like Nicklaus in '98 and Langer now) are allowed a way to give the best a run for their money.

Jeff - I don't know Dave Marr III's work very well, but for me there was never a more charming and pleasant guide to tournament golf than Dave Marr. (He told the story of playing the Masters with Palmer in the hunt and going for a back nine Par 5 in two over the creek, and just after he hit it anxiously asking him: 'Is it over? Did it get over, Dave?' and Marr answering 'Hell, Arnold -- even your divot got over!')
