The Masters is the best week in sports. Nothing beats it, and that has a lot to do with Augusta National. It’s the greatest golf course in the world.

Don’t believe me? That’s fine, but listen to what Fred Couples said after his second round among the Georgia Pines.

"First of all, you would have to be an idiot not to love Augusta National," Couples said. "I don't know if you can use those words, but they might like that, hearing that.”

Then he said something to which all fans of this tournament can relate: "There are great courses all over the world, but there are none of them like this."

Couples, who won the 1992 Masters, was 2 under through 14 holes on Thursday before making a nine at the par-5 15th. He finished the day 6 over and signed for a 3-over 75 on Sunday. He’ll miss the cut in his 41st Masters appearance.
