Jake Knapp Tied To Tiger Woods

Golf News Today

Tucked in Jake Knapp’s personal bio in the PGA Tour online media guide are a few assorted personal nuggets meant to give a bit of flavor for his personality: he can solve a Rubik’s Cube, if he didn’t play golf he would pursue a career in the fitness industry, and he spent roughly nine months as a security guard at a night club in fall 2021 through spring 2022.

And then there’s this: His earliest golf memory is watching Tiger Woods beat Stephen Ames, 9 and 8, at the 2006 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship and having Woods’ caddie, Steve Williams, toss him one of the balls Woods used during the match.

“Still got it in the same little plastic case sitting on my shelf at home,” Knapp recalled on Sunday after winning the Mexico Open at Vidanta.

As Knapp recalled, his dad took him and his brother to the WGC Match Play at La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California, about an hour from his home in Costa Mesa, and they followed Tiger and Williams, his former caddie.

“I was just hounding Stevie all day to give me a ball, give me a ball, give me a ball, and he kept on telling me after the round,” Knapp said. “Then Tiger finally closed out Stephen Ames 9 and 8 on the 10th hole. I was standing back by the 10th tee. They walked right by and I asked him for a ball and neither of them really did anything. They walked into the locker room and I was like, dang, like there they go.

“Then 10 seconds later Stevie walked out and he was like, ‘Hey, kid,’ tossed me his ball. It was pretty awesome. It’s really only the piece of sports memorabilia that I have that I really cherish.”

August Makes A Change

Golf News Today

Augusta National is making another change ahead of this year’s Masters.

The tee box of the par-5 second hole — named Pink Dogwood — is being moved back 10 yards and to the left. The change will make the scorecard yardage of the hole 585 yards, the longest on the course.

Many golf writers noted the change on social media after Augusta National shared their annual media guide with members of the press.

The second hole has been one of the least changed holes of the past two decades. A new back tee was added to the hole in 1999, and the right fairway bunker was moved well to the right by Tom Fazio during the same renovation.

Making tweaks to the layout is par for the course (sorry for the terrible pun) at the famed club. Seemingly every year, Augusta National makes some change to the Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones design to better test the pros of the modern game.

Just last year, the club unveiled a new tee box on the par-5 13th that lengthened the hole by 35 yards and elevated the tee box by some 24 feet. The club also reconfigured the par-3 course for an enhanced viewing experience for patrons.

“A primary goal of the renovation was to make for wider corridors for patrons to move around and to open the viewing options where multiple greens can be seen from one location,” the club said.

In 2022, three iconic holes received facelifts ahead of competition as the 11th, 15th and 18th holes were altered.

Augusta National might be one of the most tradition-rich clubs in the world, but that doesn’t mean they’re afraid to make changes to the course. The changes to No. 2 are just the latest example of that.
