Conditions are firm and fast at Augusta National, just the way Jose Maria Olazabal likes them. And it showed Friday at the Masters. The two-time Masters champion shot a 1-under 71 and was assured of making the cut.
He 55-year-old from Spain says making the cut feel like winning the tournament.
Olazabal hasn’t broken par at the Masters since 2015. He hasn’t played the weekend at the Masters since 2014. But it’s worth noting that both years Olazabal won the green jacket, the winning score was single digits under par.
