Hole 11 at Augusta
490 yards, par four

Peter Alliss
By Peter Alliss
BBC TV golf commentator

Hole 11

This hole was lengthened by 35 yards last year. It is a left-to-right dogleg, but the fairway goes right-to-left, so the camber goes the wrong way.

So you really need a cutter off the tee to hold it up down the right-hand side.

The green has been enlarged at the back. This happened when Rae's Creek, the stream that runs through the course, flooded a few years ago.

They have now got a flag position back left which is a real beauty - it really is a tester.

There is nothing on the right-hand side, so there have been lots of people bailing out in that direction.

Then they are left with a long, fast, downhill chip-and-run, with the water just eight or 10 feet beyond, so accuracy is a great thing.

Many people will remember Larry Mize chipping in to win the Masters in 1987, when it looked odds-on that he would lose.
