from Next on the Tee: Where Golf Legends Live & Your Game Gets Better · host Chris Mascaro

On this episode, hear stories and insights on The Masters and Augusta National from 2011 US Senior Open Champion Olin Browne, Backspin Golf Host Matthew Laurance, and Broadcast Legend Ben Wright. 2011 US Senior Open Champion Olin Browne takes us on the course at Augusta National to let us know what it's like playing there and in the Tournament. Hear his explanation of the wind tunnel that the 13th hole is and how the trees around the 12th green causes the wind to swirl making club selection a challenge. He also talks about how intimidating the tee shot is on 18. Matthew Laurance talks about how the reality of being at Augusta National far exceeds your expectations regardless of how high they are. We also talk about who he is rooting for and perhaps against and how nervous he and any of us would be if we got that invitation to play the course. Ben Wright takes us behind the camera for what it was like preparing to broadcast the tournament. We hear about legendary Executive Producer Frank Chirkinian and how Clifford Roberts summoned Mr. Wright to Butler Cabin to audition to see if he would allow him to be a part of CBS's broadcast team. We also get his thoughts on the chances this year for Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood, and Jordan Spieth.
