I think too much is made of the greens at Augusta. The winning player is usually the one that lands the ball in the right place on the greens, thats why there are so few first time winners. Lucky putters rather than great putters tend to do well at Augusta. If you look at the roll call of winners there are very few of them that you would class as 'great' putters.

Nicklaus 6 time champ, good but not great putter
Faldo 3 time champ, good clutch putter but never really went insane on the greens
Langer twice champ and lets face it, not the best putter ever.

exceptions:

Ballesteros twice champ and sheer magic with the putter
Palmer 4 times champ acknowledged by his peers as one of the best putters ever
Crenshaw twice champ another great putter

I think that most of the players at The Masters accept that of they get round in under 2 putts per gir for 72 holes they are in with a chance
