Jack Nicklaus saw the shadows stretching across the first tee Thursday morning at the Masters as he and Arnold Palmer prepared to start the tournament with a ceremonial tee shot.
"I saw all those shadows and I said, 'I don't know if we can hit out of our shadows,' " Nicklaus said.
As usual, they came through.
In a Masters tradition that never gets old, thousands of fans gathered around the tee and lined both sides of the fairway to watch Nicklaus and Palmer hit tee shots to get the 75th Masters under way.
Palmer, the 81-year-old with four green jackets, hit his shot to the base of the hill in the fairway. Then came Nicklaus, the six-time champion who turned 71 in January, pounding a shot at least 30 yards beyond Palmer.
