stepping out on that place, there s nothing like it. and all people who enjoy golf and watch the tournament on television, and they see beautiful pictures, and it is just hugely picturesque, but when you get there in person, and you see how immense and vast the place is, and giant trees, you know, sloping hills, and the greens are just amazing in themselves. and that s the fascination of playing that course is that it tempts you like no other course. and when you see them, to have that coat ready for you, it s it s pretty magical. welcome back to all-access at augusta i m joined by shane. talk about all-access. i think you did this piece from player s kitchen?
in his kitchen, on the golf course, everything that has to do with his career, he is 79 years of age. you look at this physical condition, the man, i think, is bionic. it is fascinating. good morning, shane. good to see, you my friend. breakfast for you this morning. reporter: fantastic. hit the ball a lot further after you eat this breakfast. reporter: are we having? your second masters title, 1974. does it feel like yesterday or -have you felt the passage of time? no. it doesn t seem like yesterday and it s certainly a great message that you should live for today, and not think about tomorrow, the past. also, just coming back here. this is my 57th time that i ve attended the masters. so i should have bought a house here when we first started. reporter: the unique atmosphere of augusta national and the masters, how they run the tournaments. has it changed remarkably, or
trying to stay level. you know? not too energized or excited. shane, so fan favorite phil mickelson didn t make the cut. this is the first time in 20 years that neither phil nor tiger will play in the final weekend at the masters. what went wrong? that s a really disappointing story for phil especially coming in here, because he spoke so positively when he arrived here at augusta national. he s won this title three times. he was looking for number four to match arnold palmer, and it just did not materialize. a couple really bad holes. afraid he had to head home yesterday. and tiger, of course, didn t even play in this tournament with drew because of-o wi withdrew because of a back injury. a restricted schedule. he has to tackle this, because there was no way he could play with any degree of comfort. so i think we re going to see tiger playing less and less. it s all about the future for him, and the fire is in his belly and it remains so. still the world s number one,
