True, but on the flip side, the course plays WAY longer with all the uphill shots.
This is true... So... Look for a long hitter to get hot? Tiger? Bubba? Bradley?

To me it's just going to come down to who can limit their mistakes which is probably true for any golf tourney.
However, at Augusta if you miss a green to the wrong side, or hit it over the green you can easily card a 6 or 7 in a heartbeat.
I think we'll know alot more after a round is played to see how players are putting and whatnot. And I know hindsight is 20/20.
ETA: I think you have to be a pretty long player to win at the current Augusta set up. It plays almost 7500 yards. Outside of Trevor Immelman and Zach Johnson The last 8 winners or so have been long hitters.
Just looked Immelman was 4th in driving distance that week, and Zach Johnson won with an over par score for the week. So I treat that as a fluke
I think you have to go all the way back to Mike Weir to find a short hitter that has won in the last 12 years, and even then the course wasn't at its current length.
