Most Accurate ‘Tin Cup’ Remake

After the pride, the fall. Having provided Sergio Garcia with his long-awaited first major in 2017, Augusta National humbled the Spaniard this year in excruciating fashion. His Green Jacket defence was already stuttering when he arrived at the par-5 15th in the opening round of this year’s Masters. By the time he finally walked off the green, he was ten-over, having rinsed four balls in the water in front of the green. “I don’t know what to tell you, it’s one of those things,” said Garcia after signing for an 81. The 13 he carded at the 15th tied for the highest single-hole score in Masters history. Even Roy McAvoy winced.
