Or other tournament...

Think I'd pick the US Open, because its a different course every year, and is usually set up harder...also, Anyone can play their way into the Open.

At Augusta, usually the long hitters have a distinct advantage. Anyway, that would be my choice.

What's yours?

Anyone can play their way into the masters too. Just win a U.S. amateur championship.

The masters also has a lot of perks that go with it. You'll always have a green jacket at Augusta. What do you get for the Open?

Beautiful place and lifetime exemption. And can you imagine rubbing elbows with all the previous winners at the Champions dinner? As a golfer,one of my favorite weeks of the year.

I would like just to win. Anywhere. Hell I'll take the winnings at the Vicking Classic and be happy.

It is the most prestigious tournament in the majors...look at the hype you receive when you win the Masters...its the first major of the year and everybody will remember you won it all year long! But the U.S. Open is always challenging and is a great tournament to win but for my love of golf and the Masters I would have to take the Green jacket! Plus being from the South the Masters means so much ya know</p>

I have some funny stories about past champions dinners that have been passed down to me. Snead was always the life of the dinner with inappropriate jokes and he usually told them for reason only, so he could piss Bryon Nelson off who was very religious. Bryon would then piss everyone off by talking about himself for 3 hours. This happend every year the two were alive.

Greg Norman's chokes in the Masters are widely known. Mickelson's chokes in the US Open are forgotten after a couple years.

Also, don't you get announced as "Masters Champion" in any tournament you play in forever? That'd be pretty sweet.
