Slower greens? Shorten it? Flip the 12th green? Pros pick one change to Augusta National

To many golf fans, Augusta National Golf Club represents perfection.

And yet just about every year, the Alister MacKenzie masterpiece, which will host the Masters for the 89^th time next week, gets a nip here, a tuck there. So we asked the pros what changes, if any, they would like to see made to the famed layout – No. 3 on the Golfweek’s Best Classic Courses list – and most of them didn’t hold back.

Adam Hadwin

I would flip the 12^th green around and angle the green the other way with the pond. So, short and right, you’re fine, and long and left you’re fine for a righty. It would be a big change but I’d like it.

Adam Scott

Is this anonymous? This is where I get in trouble. I think they’re doing it but it seems like there is less and less of the second cut. I like that. I would keep going with that trend.

Brian Harman

I would make it shorter. It means too much to hit it far on some of the holes.

Collin Morikawa

The 11^th hole. I hate it. If they just mowed the fairway (cut toward the tee as opposed to the green) so I wouldn’t have 250 in, I’d love it.

Corey Conners

It’s pretty much unbeatable but I liked the tee more forward on 13, I will say that.

Gary Player

 If you win the Masters, you should be able to play one round, just one round, with three guests of your choosing. I would take my grandchildren to show them first-hand what their grandfather achieved so they can finally appreciate it up close.

Gary Woodland

That I get to play in the Masters no matter what. 

Webb Simpson

Nothing.

Harris English

They keep making it longer and longer. Take No. five. I think that's the hardest hole. I’d move it back to where the tee used to be.

Jason Day

The sixth green. It is what it is. If you built that green today, people would laugh at you. But because it’s Augusta and it’s been there a long time, you just know.

Justin Thomas

All of them are “me related.” I just need to play better.

Keegan Bradley 

When it rains, they never play the ball up (lift, clean and place) and it’s into the grain so every hole is a mud ball, it's pretty brutal. The par-3 fourth hole is too long if you ask me.

Kevin Kisner

Get rid of the first cut.

Ludvig Aberg 

I wouldn’t change anything.

Matt Fitzpatrick

I would change the fourth hole. It’s brutal. I’d change it because it’s so hard.

Matt Kuchar

I’d slow the greens down. I ...
