It’s exceptionally difficult to win the Masters twice in a row. Only three men have ever accomplished that feat (Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Nick Faldo), and that exclusive club will remain at three members for another year after Sergio Garcia had the worst hole of his career Thursday afternoon.
Garcia struggled throughout his opening nine and was 2-over par on the tee of the par-5 15th. He left the green a staggering 10-over par after carding an octuple-bogey 13.
Garcia hit five consecutive balls in the water guarding the green, and his 13 tied the highest ever score on a single hole in Masters history.
To Garcia’s credit, he bounced back with a birdie at the 16th.
