Practice round with Choi could help Bae prep for Masters debut with Woods

Masters rookie preparing for round with Woods

K.J. Choi and Sang-moon Bae hit the course early for a Wednesday morning practice round. On the eve of the 76th Masters Tournament, the practice pairing could help Bae as he prepares for a first-round pairing with Tiger Woods.

Woods consistently draws some of the largest groups of patrons annually at Augusta National. Bae, a 25-year-old Masters rookie, will be paired with the four-time Masters champ in Thursday's first round.

Choi could certainly offer a few words of advice on how to play with Woods at Augusta. The two were paired together for all four rounds in 2010. Choi excelled despite the large crowds, firing 67 in the opening-round and a 69 on Sunday to finish fourth.
