Most will look for answers on the glamorous closing holes of the difficult 7,020-yd., par-72 course. If so, they will not see how the Masters is likely to be won. The tournament's toughest holes are far out on the course. That is the conclusion of Sam Snead, who has won the Masters three times (1949, '52, '54), and of Bill Inglish, tournament statistician. After studying the 1,292 individual rounds and more than 95,000 shots played at the Masters in the past five years, Inglish found that Augusta's six most...
HOLE 4: 220 yds., par three (average score: 3.27). This hole often makes you think you're playing in a wind tunnel because of tall trees behind and alongside of the green.

Forward Jim Thomas, who received a deep eight-stitch cut over his left eye against Cornell in the ECACs; center Leigh Hogan, who has been nagged by a stomach musical pull and defenseman Ed Rossi, with a shoulder problem could all be watching most of the game from the bench...
...talk all you want," Leigh Hogan, who has not been up to par due to a nagging abdominal muscle pull, said Sunday. "But you've just got to go out and work a little harder...
