Jim Nantz Prepares For Masters By Having Grant Hill Attempt Courtside Putt At Final Four

Is there ever a bad place to work on your golf game? Even at the Final Four, Jim Nantz and Grant Hill were giving us a preview of the upcoming Masters, which starts next week.

It's hard enough to make a putt in-front of a national television audience, but I give Grant Hill credit for trying to get it in the cup, with Nantz chiming him. Forget the on-court game, Hill had to deal with putting on a rigid carpet, with chords underneath the surface.

While Florida Atlantic was shooting 54% from the field in the first half, Grant Hill would certainly like a mulligan off the court. I've seen a number of different ways CBS has tried to promote the upcoming Masters, but having Bill Rafferty and Jim Nantz standing over you while trying to drain a putt, that's a lot of pressure.

We've seen Grant Hill drain some massive shots during the Final Four and NBA career, but this is one shot he'll certainly be hearing from his friends about.
