ORIGINAL STORY:
Jupiter Island’s Tiger Woods will not be defending last year’s Master’s win. In 2020 fashion, Tiger’s quest for a sixth green jacket ended when he teed off on the twelfth hole.

The 15-time major champion made a 10 – yes, you read that right, a 10 – on the par-3 12th hole after hitting three balls in Rae’s Creek in the heart of Augusta National’s Amen Corner.
But like a true champion, after the 10, Woods shot birdie, par, birdie, birdie.
Without the debacle at Amen corner, Woods would have been -7 under.
If there’s any silver lining for Woods, who immediately went from 3 under for the tournament to 4 over, it’s that his 10 isn’t the worst in No. 12’s history. Tom Weiskopf once posted a 13 at No. 12 in 1980.
