Notes: Pepperell hates hanging at courses, unless it's Augusta National

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Eddie Pepperell makes his Masters debut this year, and he looks forward to seeing Augusta National so much that he plans to see it for the first time on Sunday, four days before it begins.

That's early for him.

''I don't like being at golf tournaments too long,'' said the 28-year-old from England. ''In fact, I hate being at golf tournaments too long. I like to get in on a Tuesday.''

He played Bay Hill for the first time and had nine holes of practice. He never saw the front nine until the opening round.
