AUGUSTA, Ga. Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player were introduced on the first tee as having won a combined 10 green jackets.They actually won nine Nicklaus with six, Player with three and that prompted a chuckle from Nicklaus, especially after Player edged him with their ceremonial tee shots at Augusta National.You could tell what that tee shot meant to him, Nicklaus said. They gave him another one.The Masters got underway Thursday morning amid bright sunshine and brisk, 45-degree temperatures. Striding toward the first tee, Nicklaus brought his wife, Barbara, out of the crowd, and Player, after spotting a Japanese journalist, exclaimed Konnichiwa! as the patrons offered a hearty applause.

Serving as the honorary starter for the first time at the Masters, chairman Fred Ridley introduced, at 8:14 a.m. ET, men whose legacies will live forever throughout the history of Augusta National Golf Club. Player, 82, was up first, piping his drive down the left side of the fairway. After a practice swing, Nicklaus, 78, groaned and said, That hurts. I guess thats why were teeing off at this time, right?Settling over the ball, Nicklaus gave his ball some final instructions: OK, ball, get out there a long way.But his drive stopped short of Players ball. Nicklaus pointed toward him and laughed, then embraced his longtime friend. I told Jack: Dont worry about me outdriving you now, Player said. You outdrove me for 50 damn years!Nicklaus still holds the ultimate trump card, of course his green jacket total.Turning toward the new chairman, Player said with a smile: Make it 11 next year!
*Scrambling: So which course is tough to get it up and down on holes players miss the greens. Since all of the area's around the greens are mowed short and are left with really hard shots to get it close, scrambling is important. You are not going to be perfect so you have to make sure you can make pars from some tough places
