US Masters Vox Pops: Robert Karlsson
Paul Mahoney asks a few of golf's heavyweights for their thoughts on the US Masters. Find out what Lee Westwood would have for his Champions Dinner and what Paul Casey considers to be Augusta's hardest hole
Robert Karlsson
Earliest Masters memory: The one that stands out is Jack Nicklaus' 30 on the back nine on Sunday in 1986. You know, when Seve Ballesteros hit that 4-iron into the water at 15.
Favourite hole: The 5th. It's not a hole that everyone thinks of straightaway. The pin positions are so tricky. It's such a strong par 4.
Hardest hole: 11th. You have to hit a really good drive. And it is such a tough second shot down the hill with the creek right there. It's almost a par 5!
How tough? There is not much rough and the course is right there in front of you. It's beautiful and inviting to play, but also so much more of a mind game than a regular course.
Where do you stay? We stay in the same house behind the course near the other golf club, the Augusta Country Club. I never eat out. A few of us Swedes will sort our own food out at home.
Champions Dinner? Some kind of Swedish speciality. How about reindeer? With potatoes and vegetables, but no fries.
