It seems strange to hold a Masters without Davis Love III, who had appeared in 70 consecutive majors, including 17 consecutive Masters (two runner-up finishes), prior to failing to qualify this year. After four months of re-habbing an ankle ligament injury, Love has made three cuts in seven starts. Nice re-cap of Love's efforts in the Canadian Press.
"I'm close to playing good," he said. "I'm just not getting it done. I don't know if I'm ready for Augusta or not. I'm not really playing good enough to compete right now, so I probably don't deserve to play."But Love said he's far ahead of the recovery time that doctors set for him. He wouldn't have returned so quickly if he had already secured a spot in the Masters.
"Because I was trying to get back in the Masters and getting back to playing well, I worked really hard," he said. "I've done really well and that's going to serve me well the rest of the year. But the Masters was definitely my motivation."
