Short hitters can't contend
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods doesn't own the lowest score on the back nine at Augusta National, nor the most memorable. But that 30 he posted in the first round in 1997 sent him to a record-setting victory at the Masters that ultimately changed many things.
Starting with the golf course.
"There were two par 5s, and I could handle those," Woods recalled. "No. 17 was short at the time. No. 11 was short at the time. No. 14 was short at the time, only a 3-wood and a sand wedge."
Tiger Woods smiles on the putting green during practice for the 2007 Masters golf tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., on Wednesday. First round play begins today.
There is nothing short about Augusta National now except the distance between the practice green and the first tee. The course has been stretched more than a quarter-mile since Woods' first victory, and each change seems to reduce the number of realistic contenders.
With each hole description, his smile grew wider until he was in full laughter.
That explains why Woods and Phil Mickelson have won five of the last six Masters and are the heavy favorites when the 71st edition of this tournament begins Thursday.
And maybe that's why some of the shorter hitters wonder if they're only here to smell the flowers.
The annual assumption is that only a dozen or so guys can think about a green jacket, a familiar list of power players that range from Ernie Els to Vijay Singh, from Henrik Stenson to Geoff Olgivy.
Woods and Mickelson probably have never had a conversation in the champions locker room like the one that took place early this week downstairs where the regulars hang out.
Paul Goydos hasn't been to the Masters in 11 years, and he was asking Scott Verplank what club he hit into a certain hole. Verplank never gave him a chance to say which hole, probably because it didn't matter.
"Wood," he replied.
Verplank qualified for this Masters by finishing among the top 16 a year ago. And he was quick to point out that Tim Clark was the runner-up to Mickelson, and Chris DiMarco gave Woods all he could handle the year before that.
guys all hit the ball farther than I do. I was playing a practice round with Davis Love III, and he's launching it 300 yards to the top of the hill on the first hole. I'm just hoping I can see the green."
Along with adding yardage, Augusta National has tried to restore accuracy by adding trees.
"It can be done," Verplank said. "But it does put a handful of guys at a much greater advantage, and those
