AUGUSTA, Ga. – As Tiger Woods’ tee shot at the 12th hole, which did so much damage on Sunday at the Masters, sailed toward the green his caddie Joe LaCava didn’t have time to reminisce.
But if he had a moment to reflect he had plenty of history to consider. Twenty-seven years ago LaCava stood on that same tee and watched his boss at the time, Fred Couples, hit a tee shot that appeared destined for Rae’s Creek but hung on the bank. Couples made par on the hole and won his only major championship at the 1992 Masters.
