The first major of the year should be a brilliant exhibition of golf at perhaps the most legendary course in the United States, if not the world. Augusta National should be in excellent condition throughout the majority of the week, although the Weather Channel predicted there could be some thunderstorms when the Masters Tournament gets underway Thursday.

The names at the top of most lists for primary Masters contenders include Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, and they have been the most dominant golfers in the world over the last 12 to 18 months.

Summer is on its way, and the official proof is that it’s Masters week in Augusta, Georgia. To many, the Masters is the best tournament of the year and the most important of all the majors.

The Presidents Cup came down to the last match, and it was hard to tell if there was more pressure on Bill Haas or U.S. team captain Jay Haas. The elder Haas inserted his son in the final position of Sunday’s 12 singles matches against the International team, and neither the father nor the son had any idea that Bill’s match against South Korean Sangmoon Bae would decide the Presidents Cup. However,...
