bringing you my annual sneak peek at the 2013 Masters practice rounds

so sit back enjoy I'll be here all day filming we're right here at the front

gate walking in right now

Obviously here at the range first thing in the morning; it's about 7:15 they open the gates

at 7am

thats Webb Simpson right there walking from the practice tee i guess he's gonna

head over to the golf course

Rickie Fowler here Mark O'Meara just been on the range for a couple minutes

right now

watch a few these early guys warm up. this is O'Meara hitting some wedges. just watch a

look at this. This is about 75 yards

and that's the worst shot he's hit. They're like six or eight feet and he's only hit like

four shots this morning. Sooo

guess where we are. First tee. Last year's champ Bubba Watson right there

ready to go

I didn't see him warm up at the range. I think he just snuck in here real quick

and got up to the first tee. He's gonna play with Ricky

I don't know whether he really warmed up or not

i think he's just gonna hop out there and crank that pink driver first thing and get the

show on the road

I'm gonna slow mo all the videos of the golf swings so the audio might kick out when we go

to slow motion

but I think it gives you some cool detail on this morning's swings

so that's a nice shot. of course it's a big hit started at the bunker on the right and just faded it a

little bit out in the middle of the fairway

It's ... right at 8 a.m. right now it's so

maybe sixty degrees started out in the fifties first thing so

maybe sun's out. it's going to be a great day this is Ricky Fowler

pound-for-pound he's one of the longer hitters out there

A good ball for him too. Just up to right, right-center so there you go the 2013 Masters

practice rounds have begun.

first two guys on the golf course are over the 10th tee this is hunter mahan

we're kinda bouncing around here real quick. They're not really a lotta guys here early this

morning. nobody at the range so I just came over to the golf course

looks like hunter is gonna go off of hole number ten and maybe just as a single. I don't see

anybody else ready to go

so yeah he's got it. of here with the fairway wood

Hole 10 is a really hard dog leg to the left

gotta start this golf ball far left. you can see the tree limbs sticking out right over there

on the left

Of course everybody remembers when Rory McIlroy found the trees there but started way

down the left side keep it hooking

don't know if he hooked that enough but it's still a good shot

up

all right we're back over at the first tee we've got Angel Cabrera here

former Masters Champion

Let's see who he is going to play with this morning and none of this stuff is scripted. they don't have

actual tee times

the guys at first tee really don't even know who's gonna come or when they're

gonna tee off. just kinda spur of the moment

excited to have Jose Maria Olazabal with them source watched a prayer hitters tee

shot

obviously aiming left and planning for a cut

okay that's smashed.

that's actually over the bunker

it's not that warm at this point ok that's a 320 yard carry over that bunker

it looks like there's no room to do it from the Tee

Jose Maria joked about needing to use the ladies tees to catch up with that

He is a former Masters champion also

He's swinging pretty

well right here

this is a mouthful this is Gonzalo Fernandez Castano

I can't keep

from Spain also up

big international contingency here at Augusta every year. see what he does here

that's a beautiful flight down the left side

group

cut a little more than he wanted to but still ok

all rights we've got a few groups on a golf course. That guy doesn't need an introduction

got Tom Watson right here

Tom is sixty-three years young still hits it probably as good as he ever did

obviously a polite guy hamming it up with the crowd. this is Russell Henley gonna play

with Tom. actually a Macon Georgia native I guess he went to

University of Georgia graduated there won his first PGA Tour appearance

or as a PGA Tour member at the Sony Open

this is his first Masters. He hammered that out there pretty nicely

group

of up

this is Nathan Smith he is actually a he's a four-time mid-amateur

champion and of course that qualifies for the master so is playing in his

fourth masters with he certainly dominates

amateur golf in his age group

nice ball right straight down the center are quite as long as some nice

super long young bucks that hang out on the tour i'd

still a plenty good shot out there and now tom is gonna

hit his tee shot

and notice the length of his backswing. it hasn't shortened up over the years at all still got some

nice for a little bit beyond parallel

top you can see that leave us to lash out

sprayed spread fairway

of credit right there beside Nathan Smith ask

not quite as long as Russell Henley come up to the hill girl but for other

up care next group fears looks like we've got to

Kevin Streelman up

and that scott Piercy scary there's a guy in the green shirt with plaid pants

got so

his first Masters is a RBC Canadian Open champion

a in the rear we've got Martin Kaymer

from Germany big guy long-haired

so now we've got those three good

wait for the fair way to clear out here okay I bernard langer the fourth player

so

that's pretty strong group bernard's Masters champ tearing it up out on the

senior tour here for a few years

up

good

Looks like Bernhard is gonna lead the group

ok test his fitness i think is 56

or close to that age looks like he's 35

still swinging really well

gonna left-center their up

trying to get up on a flat Park that's probably the smallest 4:45

so the tee shots average anywhere from hitting can

face the hill which would leave 180 19 him to hold the cast get up on a flat

will be 160 course got Angel Cabrera probably a fair Work

throw to the green after flying Bunker says Martin Kaymer

sorta below

bullet to the left there my to have better as far as he hits a diabetic at a

car that

and tackle but it's still up field a bit skeptical trip

plenty safe but a betty has to worry about

market through the fairway over their fees start our side too much

says Kevin Streelman

up

it's been a regular here for a few years in a row now athleticism that set up

look how straight his spine is. he gets it right to

parallel topping see how all these guys aim a little left. the right handed guys aim down the left side

if you look where their feet points to write down the left rely on

group double-crossed him so they're usually a min left right hit a little

bit or cut back to the center

every now and then you pay the penalty for quite get a ride

finest scott Piercy much that this is first Masters

think this year he shot

think they said I was looking in the guidebook to give it a shot 61 at the

Phoenix Open here

2013 so obviously he's got some game

but shorter backswing couple these other guys up

but california that's actually the best driving group squatters

on a hill sure car would get up there but he didn't quite catch

solid caricom moving quick here

this is John Senden from Australia

I like

up of colour

trucks of you know so many talk as we've got out here on the tour now

speaking of which Nicolas Colsaerts hear from Belgium

Cesar to tall athletic

European guys here they can move it no to set up on the right side

the toybox a min a little bit left the body complain that little bit of a cut

just boomed

big high ball

half learn alright though it's kinda cutting allotted

yeah it's over by the people

when go get some answers on the Tee now

of on the short sleeve so that's a

TJ Vogel of being

he played for the University of Florida he's a US Public Links Championship

and then in the sweater Steven Fox 2012 US Amateur champ

place for the university to see slide vocals gonna go first here

talk about fitness like these guys not an ounce of fat on them

think these guys are both 22

yellows

couple it up the hill right they're nice and straight pretty safe

the ball good

spice it up but he doesn't worry do it get there from the crowds for the first

time in this event just one

pretty someone down there and have a good time

good

freedom and Stephen Spanish there

good

guys don't look like they have backbones they can turn so far

I saw the ball up the middle so they're often run-up

Akosua got in this group it's easy figure these things out with the kiddies

this is Thomas Bjorn or from Denmark

he's kinda been resurgence in his career here last few years from working hard on

his game trying to get things back together

right foot switch their EC

but he still got this ball up the hill good

cactus what they're not so happy with that maybe this is david lamb from

England

dupes

i think is gotta cutting too much good

and also from 10 Denmark this is a store Bjorn Olson see setting up well down the

left side

can't tell through the viewfinder but I think that would like of players well I

think

really all through this get another hit quite likely won't easily

a little bit did

FX right Croucher Costa Rica as a pro like a redo I'll

but anyway go a long way autographed play

here we've got our from japan this is here UK Fujita

four-time winner on the Japanese tour

Japan tour 43 years old

stocky muscular build

along

at the toxic assets are you a slow-motion you can tell

pause store just sits there to look at a bar fight

Yap

and Fujita at age 43 we jump from there to review a chicago won a younger

players he's only 21

a believer now playing in his fifth Masters

his/her 12 wins International House collagen in the guidebook to Cassie

for his career look like so for another film in a few these events he's

actually hitting a 3-wood appears to have grown a little bit I think he was

just 5 730 something pounds couple years ago but

still not huge is 59 I think this a 150

eighties of the wrong with religiously Tanaka through the Fair where the

Parkers

that's right up just cannon from the bunker on the right side

good are howard got to ask as pro recognize what everybody David Toms

it's got to be markers out they've got the markers up from thirty not many the

guys are using it but yes on

joke that look go ahead tee off a little bit more upfront like this old buddy 02

will be long enough later on in the week in

and David's playing with Lucas Glover here the 2009 US Open champion

and know that exception I think that gives at least 25 your exemption to the

Masters so he's probably playing on this US Open exception will discover long

arse you see that sort down cutting move his downswing

obviously low leverage in swing on traffic and motor it out there

are removed from here we're gonna go over to

work just walk around Frank

Oct here for on our services are the 18th green this is actually Mark O'Mara

and it looks like under my hand caught up with them this morning to them just

talkin strategies that supports you know they've actually

you know there those guys were playing a singles I spent over two and a half

hours on the back nine so tell us how much their study in
