K.J.'s Masters Diary: Day 3 (Tuesday)

It looked as if the rain was going to hinder practice rounds again, but somehow I was able to get a full 18 holes in. Right after the round I immediately went to the putting green to work on my putting again.

For this tournament I'm switching from my regular Odessey TriHot putter to the C-Groove Putter made by Yes Golf. I first tried the C Groove putter at last year's Dunlop Phoenix Tournament at Miyazaki, Japan. I've used it several times this year - during rounds 3 and 4 of the Nissan Open, and also during the Buick Open. The reason why I decided to try this putter is because the 'C' shaped groove (thus the name) on the face of the putter is supposed to keep the ball from jumping at impact, so it should provide a more accurate putt.

I'll be teeing off tomorrow for the Father/Son Par 3 Challenge. The Par 3 Challenge is a special 9 hole event, and my 6 year-old son, David (Hohjun) will be caddying for me. Taylormade will provide a special child-size caddie bag for David. This is special for me since my first Masters experience can be shared with my son as well.

I find it a great honor to be paired with Mr. Nicklaus again and respect him greatly.

- K.J.
