Ben Crenshaw won the Masters twice and has designed with Bill Coore since 1986. He is the historian of the partnership, and the courses follow the models he admires: MacKenzie, Perry Maxwell and Donald Ross. Their work aims for natural strategy rather than spectacle, with wide fairways, well-placed bunkers and greens that ask for thought on the approach.
