MY BAG FOR THE MASTERS
VIJAY SINGH
"I may put a five-wood in the bag instead of my hybrid. You need one at 15, the 13th and the 2nd. If they move back the tees on number 4, my hybrid isn't going to get there. I'll put new wedges in the bag for more spin."

TREVOR IMMELMAN
"The beauty of Augusta is that you have to hit every shot well, and you have to hit every shot well all week. I won't make any changes in my bag, but I'll work on controlling spin with my wedges. If you spin the ball and it catches a ridge, it's going to roll a long way."

HUNTER MAHAN
"Augusta National makes you hit every club in the bag. I like to have a five-wood if I need to hit a high shot into a green, so I may put in a five-wood with a little more loft than usual."

GEOFF OGILVY
"I'll decide on Wednesday, in Augusta, whether to carry a five-wood or a two-iron. I've carried a five-wood only about four times in the last five years. Augusta is one of the weeks I always take it to see if it works, since a high, long shot is advantageous there."

CHAD CAMPBELL
"I won't change much for the Masters, but I'll probably bring some extra 60-degree wedges with less bounce. All those little pitch shots you get off those firm slopes, you'll probably want less bounce for those. I'll try some out."
