Sergio Garcia is trying to end his career-long major drought by winning the Masters on Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club. Garcia began the day tied for the lead with Justin Rose, but he fell behind and needed to claw back late in the back nine. He did that with the help of an astonishing approach shot on the 15th hole.
Masters 2017: Sergio Garcia ties Justin Rose with thrilling eagle on 15th hole Sunday
What a competition.
Garcia trailed leader and playing partner Rose by a shot while they moved along the par-5 15th. His second shot hit the flag stick and settled a decent ways from the pin. It was either a stroke of wonderful or horrible luck.
Garcia made his putt for eagle, his first in his last 452 career Masters holes, CBS reported. He briefly took a one-shot lead on Rose by moving to 9-under for the tournament, but Rose himself birdied the hole a moment later to restore equilibrium.
This has been one of the best Sunday duels at the Masters in years. The eagle-birdie 15th hole was the climax — for a moment, at least.
