Watch this golfer chunk the worst tee shot ever at Masters’ famous 12th hole

Ben Crane duff’d it, he duff’d it reallllll bad.

This is probably the worst shot in the history of the most famous par-3 in golf. The 12th is Augusta National’s marquee hole, the highlight of Amen Corner, and just 155 yards long.

It can be a difficult hole because the green is small and surrounded by trouble. The most notable danger is Rae’s Creek, the water hazard running in front of the green.

Well, Ben Crane found Rae’s Creek in a way I don’t think we’ve ever seen. He actually chunked his tee shot so bad that it bounced into the front of the drink. Balls spin off the green and down into the water, but going into the hazard from the front on a 155-yard shot is a new one.

Crane probably wishes there wasn’t an “Amen Corner” stream right about now. He made a triple bogey 6 on the hole and went to 7-over for the tournament.
