Masters 2012: Let ‘The Goose’ be your guide
Retief Goosen knows a thing or two about how to tackle Augusta National. The South African made his debut in 2000 with a 40th-placed finish.
He missed the cut the following year but bounced back 12 months later to finish second behind Tiger Woods in a star-studded top 10.
Consecutive 13th-placed finishes followed in 2003 and 2004 before, strangely, consecutive thirds. In 2007, the double US Open champion was second.
So it’s fair to state that ‘The Goose’ knows how to plot his way round Augusta National.
He talks us through the five hardest shots the fabled course has to offer. Click HERE to begin The Goose’s tour.
