I agree.

The masters has been played 78 times and in 47 of those years the Masters has been won by Great players with 2 or more masters victories. Even Masters winners with one major win like Schwartzel, Scott, Z. Johnson, T. Immelman, Weir and even Spieth had multiple wins on the PGA or European tours before winning at Augusta.

THe average number of wins on the PGA and European tour for Schwartzel, Scott, Johnson, Immelman, Weir and Spieth (only 21! and starting career) is 10. These are accomplished players.

Winning at Augusta National is not for first time winners or Journeymen.

I agree. And I suspect its because its the same course every year. Its not a place for beginners to make a stand - not with the old hands having years or even decades of playing their with the spotlight on them.
