Masters: Deja Vu?
Wow, deja vu.
Fred Couples was on his way to his victory in 1992 when he hit a spinning shot into the par-3 12th hole that somehow stayed up on the slope between the green and the fronting Rae's Creek. Couples went on to win by two shots over Raymond Floyd.
On Saturday, Trevor Immelman had just 88 yards for his third shot into the par-five 15th, but hit his shot short and watched helplessly as the ball spun back off the green and started rolling down the hill. Somehow the ball stopped before reaching the pond. Immelman had a three-shot lead at the time and when he eventually made par he may have gone a long way in winning the Masters.
