Thursday

He was referring to the bylaw at Augusta National which states that if the new champion does not specify a menu to be served at the champion's dinner, in the lack of such guidance the club serves "a traditional Southern meal," which includes fried chicken and collard greens. Zoeller was trying to say, "Pick a menu, because I'm tired of eating the same Southern meal they serve in the absence of one." Notice his quote said "Don't let 'em serve," and "whatever the hell they serve," not "whatever the hell they eat."
