LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The refrain is becoming a tradition unlike any other, especially after a West Coast Swing like this one.
''The Masters can't get here soon enough.''
No doubt, the Masters is the most anticipated tournament of the year. But that would be overlooking the obvious. Golf fans get excited about Augusta National no matter who is winning because it's the first major championship in eight months and because, well, it's the Masters.
What the West Coast Swing showed is that it's getting more crowded than ever at the top, and it's getting tougher to find a clear-cut favorite.
