I've trawled through every page (well, the records section!) and picked out 17 of the most eye-catching numbers, because, well, there isn't a great deal to do when the course is completely closed and you're locked in the media centre!

In no particular order...

4.31 - average score on Augusta National’s stroke-index-one 11th hole between 1942 and 2016. In 1956, players averaged 4.7 strokes.

74.03 - stroke average between 1942 and 2016. In 1956, players averaged 77.1 strokes a round.

16 - Tiger Woods played the back nine in 16-under-par en route to victory in 1997.

49 - highest score on the front nine, by Charles Kunkle in the fourth round in 1956
