Some of these US Masters stats are quite incredible...
17 awesome stats from the Masters Media Guide
The Media Guide presented to you as you enter the US Masters press building at Augusta National is some 435 pages long.
I've trawled through every page (well, the records section!) and picked out 17 of the most eye-catching numbers, because, well, there isn't a great deal to do when the course is completely closed and you're locked in the media centre!
In no particular order...
