DON'T MISS

Saturday 4/10
The Masters

? CBS SATURDAY 3:30 PM AND SUNDAY 4 PM

Last week Fabio, while riding a roller-coaster in Virginia, was struck in the nose by a low-flying goose, proving that not even waterfowl are immune to the romance-novel cover boy's animal magnetism. A different and wholly intentional stab at facial rearrangement has taken place at Augusta National. Five holes—numbers 2, 11, 15, 17 and 18—have been altered significantly (moved back tees, added trees, relocated sand traps) for the 63rd Masters, supposedly to prevent such long hitters as course record holder Tiger Woods from dominating. Will a change in the domain of the Masters have any effect on who will follow 1998 champion Mark O'Meara (right) as master of this domain?

HIGHLIGHTS

Saturday 4/10
Prince Naseem Hamed vs. Paul Ingle

? HBO 11:15 PM (TAPE DELAY)

"It's my happening, and it's freaking me out!" Like fellow (if fictional) popular Englishman Austin Powers, Hamed treats every event as if it's his personal shindig. Tonight in Manchester the 31-0 Prince, who's the WBO featherweight champion, fetes Yorkshireman Ingle (21-0), who said no to training at a Royal Marines' Commando Training Centre in Devon so that he could sleep in his own bed each night. "I'm a home bird," says Ingle. Yeah, baby! Tune in early as the Hit Man, Thomas Hearns, now 40, faces 35-year-old Nate Miller in an undercard bout for the IBO cruiserweight title.
