2020 Masters Begin late on November 12-15

With the Augusta National Masters beginning, (NOV 12-15) it would be nice to list off a few of the most iconic wins/moments! (1990-present)

TOP 5 Iconic masters moments (1990-present)

5: Phil Magic

The par-5 13th hole has always provided drama. In the final round in 2010, Phil Mickelson found himself in the pine straw and the trees, but the gambler at heart still wanted a shot at birdie. He took the risk by threading a 6-iron through two trees, over Rae’s Creek and was rewarded with an easy two-putt birdie. The bold move delivered Mickelson his third green jacket.

4: Faldo’s come from behind 

Despite its proud golf history, the country of Australia had never produced a Masters champion. Greg Norman seemed like a lock as he carried a record six-shot lead into the final round. But playing with the Great White Shark on Sunday was his golfing nemesis: Nick Faldo. And when Norman stumbled home with a 78, Faldo pounced with a 67 to claim his third Masters. The rivals’ hug on the final green is a lasting image of golf victory and defeat. BUT Australia did get its long-awaited first Green Jacket when Adam Scott won the 2013 Masters.

3: Bubba Watson recovery shot

 This Masters delivered two of the greatest shots ever witnessed at Augusta National. Louis Oosthuizen made an albatross at the par-5 second, a shot that helped the South African get into a playoff with Bubba Watson. On their second extra hole, Watson was deep in the trees to the right of the 10th fairway. It was time for Bubba Golf, as the left-hander hit a severe hook out of and around the trees onto the green for an easy two-putt par and the win.

2: Tigers Sweep

Tiger Woods has always exceeded the hype. In 1997, he won the Masters by a remarkable 12 shots, and, more importantly, delivered golf’s Jackie Robinson moment as he became the first African American to win the Masters.

1: The Chip (Tiger Woods)

All of Tiger Woods’ ability and imagination was tested when his tee shot at the par-3 16th missed the green in the final round. His deft touch pulled off a precise chip shot that hung on the lip for a second before toppling into the hole for a miracle birdie. And after Chris DiMarco came oh-so-close to chipping in — twice — at the 18th hole, Woods won his fourth Masters in a playoff.
