AUGUSTA, Ga. – For any who wondered what the dynamic would be like early Thursday when Gary Player joins Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus as honorary starters at the Masters, the Black Knight had a simple answer.

“You better believe (we’ll be trying to outdrive each other),” Player smiled. “I’ve been working hard on getting ready for this. Just came from the gym in fact.”

Player was in the gym? Weird. In a related item there has been a Vijay Singh sighting on the practice tee.
