PGA Tour Driving Distance Watch, Week 14

pgatour.jpgThe PGA Tour Driving Distance average rose dipped a bit from 288.66 after the BellSouth to 288.3 after the Masters. 

There were 0 over-350 or longer drives, with the season total to 844, then again, it's not clear if they were actually measing on all holes.

ShotLink was supposedly coming to the Augusta National for the first time, but with not a mention anywhere and a few trusted spotters insisting they did not see the measuring devices, it would seem that only the measuring holes were used.

If you look at the individual player information on Masters.org it tells you what their long drive of the day was for each round. All the players had their longest drive on either #5 or #15 so there's your answer.
