Looks like the rain Thursday softened the course including the greens. Any opinions on whether the greens will have enough time to firm up by Sunday and get close to the hardness/speed we’re used to seeing? I love seeing the professionals challenged by the speed and undulations of Augusta’s awesome greens.

Not a chance this time of year. They should firm up more but not close to typical masters conditions.

I think by Sunday afternoon, with no rain or water, they'll be much quicker... Not like the spring but quicker than they're running right now

Subair systems under all the greens, they can dry them up

Although the greens are softer than normal they appeared to begin to firm as the day went on. They got a ton of rain Thursday so the course is wet. Come tomorrow late afternoon i would expect them to firm up pretty well. Come Sunday i think they’ll have them like usual.

Fairways will still be soft. But I expect greens to be real quick by Sunday.
