Lefty looks the master again

LIKE the first day of a new soccer season, everyone stands equal during the practice rounds of the year’s opening major.

And like footballers emerging from a summer slog of pre-season training, hope springs eternal among the 99 golfers invited to enjoy the Georgia sunshine this week at the Masters.

A new start and a clean sheet stands before them ahead of Thursday’s opening round, personal goals to be achieved and milestones to be conquered.
