I read it in reference to him losing his head a little after dj didn't give him that putt before his mini melt down.

I wouldn't say he'd of won easily if at all.

Paul Lawrie tipped Jon Rahm for the Masters, this was on Sunday morning. But they continued on to say that it's impossible for a left to right shot to win at the Masters, but I'm sure Willet had a natural fade on his shots.
I didn't want to heckle.

I'm sure both Woods and Nicklaus stock shot was left to right ?

Yes.
I remember reading about Tiger working for several months on one specific shot, a big draw with his 3 wood purely for the tee shot on the par 5 13th.

Yes this fade vs draw view of Augusta was certainly called into question by Danny Willett, who debunked the draw myth. The only thing I will say though is that 2016 was not your typical Masters with high wind (for Augusta) and high scoring, which negated the draw advantage I'd suspect.

I know enough good amateurs who can move the ball both ways
2017 top 50 in the world pros are pretty decent at playing draws when needed

A lot of amateurs will tell you they can shape the ball both ways,but been able to do it consistently on demand is different.
Apparently a lot of amateurs also hit driver 300+

Up to 14th in the world ranking so the future for Rahm looks rosy and only a matter of time he hits the top ten and climbs towards #1

Not in soft conditions it's not.
Interesting point about moving it both ways. One of the things that makes the best players so good is that they repeat what they do time after time after time with little variation.
It's one thing being able to move the ball both ways, but in reality there are very few top level golfers who can do it perfectly. Almost all will have a preference for one shape of shot and will be less comfortable, and less proficient, hitting the other shape to exacting standards when it really matters.
Wasn't it Kaymer who went from world #1 and fell down the rankings trying to change his standard shape. Surely if you have something that repeats, why change? Surely Augusta is more a challenge on the greens and knowing where to hit greens and where to miss

Not from what I can see - rarely see people hitting those sort of distances.

Kaymer and a zillion others. Quite often it's guys who start to climb up the rankings with a less than perfect looking swing, then get a bit success, then think how good they will be if they get their swing looking better. Then they lose what they had that was working perfectly, and end up sliding back down.

Are we talking in closed conditions, no wind/slope?
On my course my playing partners and me regularly go over 300 yards with a bit of slope and wind. Can even go 400+ on the 18th if wind is behind.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day :rofl:
My course is dry, windy and slopey, which helps
