Tiger Woods stepped up to the par-3 12th hole at the Masters on Sunday and proceeded to do something us weekend hackers would probably do – he put three balls in the water and carded a 10 on the hole.
A 10!
That was the first time Tiger has ever had a double-digit score in his legendary career and it was just brutal to watch.
The last time we saw Tiger on the back nine at the Masters he was going on an incredible run that would see him win his fifth green jacket.
This time he was going through a sleeve of balls on one for the most special holes in all of golf.

But what he did after that hole was pretty incredible and was classic Tiger Woods – instead of mailing in the rest of his lost round he decided to remind everybody what has made him so great over the years. He decided to remind everyone that Tiger Woods doesn’t quit.
First he tapped in for birdie on the par-5 13th after just missing an eagle putt.
He then burned the edge of the cup with a long putt on 14 before settling for par.
He then tapped in for birdie the par-5 15th.
He then almost aced the par-3 16th before tapping in for birdie again.
He then birdied the 17th hole.
And then he finished with a birdie on 18 to finishing with a 76 for the round and 1-under for the tournament.
Five birdies over his last six holes and four straight birdies to end a round that was basically finished after that embarrassing 12th hole?
I mean, come on. That is pretty ridiculous.
And pretty awesome.
Though I wish he just parred that 12th hole.
