Sarazen's Double Eagle                            Year: 1935, final round                           The hole: 15th                           Degree of difficulty: *****                                                      THE SHOT: Gene Sarazen's historic hole-out for double eagle went a long way toward helping popularize the Augusta National Invitational, aka The Masters. Sarazen was torn between hitting a 3-wood or a 4. He pulled the latter. The result was a blistering shot that flew some 235 yards, cleared a greenside pond and dropped into the hole. The deuce tied Sarazen for the lead with Craig Wood, and he went on to win the only 36-hole playoff in Masters history.
