Henrik Stenson's epic collapse on the final hole of the Masters first round yesterday, ruined what looked like a magnificent 17 holes of play and wiped out what could have been a first place tie for the lead.
The Swede made it look easy on the front nine, with two eagles and a birdie to get a 5-under. That's where he stood when he got to the 18th hole. His drive on 18 went into the woods.
Stenson's second shot hit a root. His third shot off the pine needles barely made it to the green and then he three-putted for an ugly 8.
He ended up with a 1-under 71 for the day. Lee Westwood was the first-round leader with a 5-under 67.
Here is video of Stenson duffing it up in all of its shortened agony.
