Charles Howell Change Quotations

The change to 15 is interesting. Although it is longer, it does allow you to play a draw off the tee again. It just doesn't feel as claustrophobic back there any more.

The big ones that stand out are 4 and 7. The changes done to both 4 and 7 are going to impact the score. There's no doubt about it.

To be honest, I was a little bit disappointed with the changes in '02 because I wanted to play the same golf course everyone else had played and I couldn't. I wanted to play at least one Masters on the same course that Tiger (Woods) did what he did in '97 on.

If you had never seen this golf course and didn't know what course you were playing, you would think, OK, this is fine. But if you see this from the perspective that Augusta is one of the most familiar courses in the world, you would look at the changes and say, 'Wow, this is going to make a big difference'.
