So the golfing fraternity has had a couple of days to reflect on the year's first Major, and the newly-crowned US Masters champion Zach Johnson has had a whirlwind week. He had a hectic visit to New York doing interviews for all the leading stations, including an appearance on the David Letterman Show.

Johnson obviously earned a lot of respect for winning his first Green Jacket, but the fact he did so, holding off the game's number one player Tiger Woods has earned him even more kudos. To Johnson's credit he is honouring his commitment to play in the Verizon Heritage at Harbour Town this week.

Woods had no complaints about the tough conditions at Augusta. It was the same for everyone in the field. He admitted it was the hardest he had ever seen Augusta play, but he said the course was still a fair test. Reflecting on his four rounds, he finished two of them with bogeys on 17 and 18: "That's four over in two holes, you can't afford to do that and win major championships," he said.

From my perspective, Tiger never really looked comfortable with his swing all week. His putting from inside 10 feet kept him competitive, but the dominant aura he usually exudes didn't seem there. He will probably take a few weeks off and work on his swing, although with his first baby due in the summer, for the first time in his life, golf may not be his number one priority. So it will be interesting to see if he can stay as dominant with other influences in his life.

Now on to this week's tournament, the Verizon Heritage at Harbour Town, or the Davis Love Retirement Fund as it should be renamed. Love owns this tournament - five wins in the last 20 years. Watch out for defending champ Aaron Baddeley; he's in decent form with a win on tour already this season. Expect Jim Furyk to be thereabouts on Sunday, as he has been runner-up here for the last two years.

In what I think is a great move, the Players Championship has been moved this year to early May. This is a much better time for the so-called fifth Major (a term I hate, as there will only ever be four), as it helps to break up the long gap between the US Masters in early April and the next Major, the US Open in mid-June. So we have that to look forward to next month. There is always a slightly sadistic nature to this tournament, watching the players at the island green par-three 17th - compulsive viewing.
