What better partners could you have, then, than two men with a combined five Masters wins? And one of them, the guy with four green jackets, has become a friend now that they both call Jupiter, Fla., home.<doc-sep>AUGUSTA, Ga. -- I hate hot Masters. Those were the words of one colleague as we chased around Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy on the second nine Monday afternoon. A thick morning fog gave way to a steamy day as the one-week veil lifted on Augusta National once again. The weather certainly didn't deter anyone from coming out. Groups of McIlroy-Johnson and Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas and Fred Couples had everybody buzzing early and often before the course was closed up to patrons in the afternoon on account of weather. The highlight of the day for me was probably not the same for most others. I loved the crush of people because it's an annual reminder of just how high-strung the tension is the week. When you think you can't take any more of it, it just keeps building to a crescendo until you think you'll buckle under its weight. We won't know for another week who's going to take this Masters, but that's often not even the fun part. The fun part is the lead into that moment and everything that makes up what should be another awesome 83rd Masters. Here are a few notes and thoughts from Monday. D.J. made an albatross on No. 15 right after I walked away from his pairing. It was on his second ball, but it was louder than probably 75 percent of roars I've heard during actual competition at other tournaments. The D.J.-McIlroy pairing was intriguing, wasn't it? I haven't known them to play a lot of practice rounds together, but they are arguably the two best golfers on the planet right now. McIlroy (2.7) and Johnson (2.5) make up two of the three golfers on the PGA Tour gaining two or more strokes per round against the field (Justin Thomas at 2.0 is the other). Rory was bouncing around pretty hard. That's all I'll say. This is remarkable. I loved this thread from Kevin Van Valkenburg. Not having my phone on the course is one of my favorite parts of the tournament every year. I'm reading a book right now called Digital Minimalism, and it talks a lot about the mental health benefits from not being tuned into a screen for eight hours a day. Being forced into it is not the worst thing in the world. Bryson DeChambeau's quotes in his press conference on Monday did not disappoint. They were actually downright delightful.<doc-sep>
Ahead of Tiger Woods' 22nd Masters, Tom Rinaldi looks back at the changes in Tiger's life and Augusta National since his first win. (3:59) AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Tiger Woods' preparation for the Masters has already included two nine-hole tours of the course as well as a full practice round last week in which he shot 65 at Augusta National. Woods, 43, a four-time tournament winner, was off the course Monday prior to 11 a.m. before going to the practice area. He played the back nine at with Fred Couples and Justin Thomas. He had arrived late Sunday afternoon and went straight to the course with just a putter and a wedge, spending some three hours on the front nine, hitting shots from 75 yards and in and working on his short game. Poor weather is in the forecast for late Monday and Tuesday, possibly curtailing practice time. Woods also came to Augusta National last Wednesday from his Florida home and spent the day on site, playing 18 holes and shooting a 65 that included a three-putt at the first green. Augusta member Jeff Knox was part of the round for nine holes, as was Rob McNamara, a vice president at Woods' TGR Ventures, who spent the entire 18 holes with Woods and two Augusta National caddies. Woods is making his 22nd Masters appearance, dating to his first in 1995 as an amateur. In addition to his four wins, Woods has 13 other top-10 finishes, his last a tie for fourth in 2013. Woods missed the tournament in 2014, 2016 and 2017 due to back issues, and was tied for 32nd last year. He will go into Thursday's first round ranked 12th in the world, coming off a tie for fifth at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Championship, one of his five tournament starts in 2019.
