    Timber! Another Augusta Nat'l tree falls

    April 06, 2011

    AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The storm that ripped through Augusta on Monday night famously claimed a 150-year-old magnolia tree as a victim, but that wasn't the only one.

    While working on a photo essay on Augusta National fans, Golf Digest staff photographer J.D. Cuban captured this pine tree toppling near the 15th fairway.
