While rollback rules will be implemented in 2028, it seems courses such as Augusta National will continue to lengthen holes for the foreseeable.<\/p>\n<p>This might well be no problem if your name is Bryson DeChambeau, but for 60-year-old Olazabal these changes are something of an issue. In fact, the Spaniard confessed to not liking them one bit.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he\u2019s getting used to the changes, he responded sharply: &#8220;That doesn&#8217;t mean I like it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, obviously I&#8217;m getting used to the golf course playing extremely long for me. There are certain holes that I barely reach the green in 2. No. 5 is a good example of that, No. 11 is another one.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"content-figure flex justify-center mb-[1em] mx-auto\">\n<div style=\"max-width:810px\">\n<div class=\"content-image\"><img alt=\"Jose Maria Olazabal of Spain gestures on the No. 2 hole during a practice round at Augusta National\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"810\" height=\"541\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img w-full w-full h-auto\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/eZhxrg3n.K2KEmMbJRDKPw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD04MzA-\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/aol_the_mirror_191\/2b2cbd6be8dbce200d38df2470141dd2\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"fig-caption\">\n<p>Olazabal is not a fan of the changes -Credit:Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;Then I do have a lot of par-4s that I&#8217;m hitting really long irons, even 7-woods on to the greens.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As I said, it&#8217;s always great to be here. My goal is just to put a couple of decent scores the first two days and try to enjoy it as much as I can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Olazabal, though, is something of an expert around the greens. So he at least has that to fall back on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The more you play this golf course, the better it is,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve always said, this golf course nowadays demands a whole game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You need to be long and straight off the tee. You have to be sharp with your irons, and on top of that, your short game has to be really good.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/entertainment\/augusta-national-staff-intervene-870-144724326.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Augusta National staff intervene after $870 Masters craze causes patron frenzy;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">Augusta National staff intervene after $870 Masters craze causes patron frenzy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/entertainment\/masters-star-forced-outfit-change-145736512.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Masters star forced into outfit change catches eye with statement on driving range;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">Masters star forced into outfit change catches eye with statement on driving range<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Knowing the contours of the greens and all that obviously helps you around the greens, and when you play it, I don&#8217;t know, 37 times or 38 times over years, you get to know the course a little better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the changes, Olazabal is not knocking Augusta National. A golf club he\u2019s won twice at, Olazabal is aware more than most just how special the Masters is.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The feelings are great,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Every time I come here, this is a very special place for me, for my heart.
