Those greens look pretty rough for the masters.

Ben Hogan looked very awkward and uncomfortable over putts. Not like his full golf swing stance where it looked like he couldn't miss a shot. I think if Hogan had spent as much time putting as he did with his full swing he probably won 90% of every tournament he entered.

@SwingItLikeMoe Left eye damage left him with awful depth perception. In the beginning his short game/putting especially was great.

Jerry Barber nice looking Hogan like swing in frame 0.30 looked so good it went waaaay right. Had he not done anything at all I would have thought he hit it down the middle. Amazing how a professional golfers swing looks compared to amatuers.

Notice his pre-shot routine at .50 - very consistent - steps forward with right foot - then

1 look/adjust feet/waggle

2 look/adjust feet/waggle

3 look/adjust feet/waggle

then he goes.

Ben Hogan has to be greatest ball striker ever. Lee Buck Trevino really close 2nd!

Today's tour players wouldn't know what to do playing those greens. A lot of short putts that's for sure.

I thought I would never see 2:30.
