The South Korean golfer KJ Choi says he's excited about playing alongside Tiger Woods for the first two rounds of this weeks Masters tournament in Augusta, Georgia.
Most of the elite field probably preferred not to play alongside Woods in his much-hyped comeback event after a five months layoff, although several leading players including Phil Mickelson and Stewart Cink had volunteered for the job.
But Masters officials have named Choi and the American Matt Kuchar as Woods playing partners.
Meanwhile the South African number one Ernie Els has arrived in Augusta in top form after recent back-to-back wins on the PGA tour following a two year drought.
Els can't really explain his resurgence but says player fewer tournaments and enjoying training probably ha something to do with it.
