Key holes
The Par fives. Simply put, you don't win at Augusta if you don't play well on the par fives. In fact, last year the four par fives ranked as the easiest five holes on the course yielding 29 eagles and 420 birdies. The two on the second nine are of particular importance, as each of the last six champions have birdied at least one of them in their final round and three have birdied both.
