On Tuesday at the Masters, one practice round grouping had everyone's attention. That's because three players in the group of four had combined to win eight green jackets over the last two decades.
Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Fred Couples paired up with Thomas Pieters for a tour of the back nine at Augusta National as they prepare for The Masters, which tees off on Thursday.
Woods has four green jackets, with his last coming in 2005. Mickelson owns three and Couples won one (1992). Pieters, a young Belgian who tied for fourth last year in his Masters debut, was actually born in January of the year Couples won.
When the group teed off at Augusta National on the 10th hole, Twitter took notice of course.
