MASTERS’ HOLE OF THE DAY

By Chip Towers
April 12, 2014

No. 18: Holly

Par-4, 465 yards

2014 second-round average: 4.082

2013 four-round average: 4.181

Birdies: 18

Pars: 54

Bogeys: 21

Over-bogey: 1

Review: One of the more famous finishing holes in golf, this uphill dogleg right played considerably easier Friday, with the pin in the middle, than it did Thursday, with the pin back left. That's the best explanation for giving up more than four times the number of birdies on the second day (18) than the first (4). Any decent drive in the fairway should have resulted in a birdie try. Unless you're Bubba Watson, who missed the green and had to settle for a finishing bogey.
