Golf caddie Billy Foster looks ahead to golf’s first major of the year at Augusta

Caddie Billy Foster has 23 years’ experience of the Masters and he has given us his guide to Augusta National.

Foster’s first visit to the Masters came with Seve Ballesteros and he carried the legendary Spaniard’s bag at the tournament five times.

He has spent much of his time since then working for Lee Westwood, who has been in contention at the Masters several times but has failed to qualify this year, and he describes Augusta National as “the ultimate test”.

Foster discusses the severity of the greens and their contours, the psychology of the tournament and the atmosphere on the back nine, especially when a player is in contention for the title.

The Masters is coming…..

He also reveals the greatest shot he has seen at Augusta – and his reaction to it – and gives his views on Tiger Woods’ return to the first major of the year.
