Masters Day One: Tournament Info and Thursday Tee Times

Course: Augusta National Golf Club, 7,435 yards, par 72

Purse: $11,000,000 (Winner reportedly to receive $2,000,000)

Defending Champion: Sergio Garcia. The prodigy-turned-best-player-never-to-have-won-a-major was tied for the lead going into Sunday with Justin Rose. They battled back and forth with a very dramatic second nine - Sergio making an all-world par on 13 and a much needed eagle on 15 before missing a winning putt on 18. But in a 1 hole playoff, Rose was out of position from the start and Sergio knocked down a birdie putt anyway to capture his first major title.
