Sahith Theegala may not have garnered much attention when he arrived at Augusta National this week but the Masters debutant left a lasting impression, most especially when he evoked one of the greatest shots in the tournament's rich history.
The highlight of the day for Theegala came when he evoked memories of Tiger Woods' 2005 chip at the par-three 16th hole that remains one of the best shots in the history of the Masters.Theegala missed the green with his tee shot but then, with patrons surrounding him, he chipped onto the green and watched as his ball curled down a slope and speed into the side of the hole for a birdie, prompting wild scenes.
"I can't wait to watch the replay because I don't know what I did. I don't even know the angle the ball took. I was just blacked out when I hit the chip because I was just so happy to get it on the green." Theegala, who went out in the first pairing, was within four strokes of the lead when he stepped up to his penultimate hole, which he bogeyed, and despite coming up short it was still a round that he will never forget.
