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.

Lee Westwood lands ball inside woman's shirt
Lee Westwood's errant tee shot on the 13th hole yesterday at the Match Play Championship somehow ended up inside the polo shirt of a woman standing in the gallery.
The gray-haired woman inexplicably apologized to Westwood for his shank before he got to drop the ball after the lady shook the little hunchback out from behind on her own.
I'm sure there would have been a lot more ball-removing volunteers if that Titlelist had landed inside the blouse of let's say... a Kate Upton.
Last week, a ball hit by Phil Mickelson at the Northern Trust Open landed inside the shorts of a male spectator. Mickelson gave the jubilant man a signed glove but dropped a different ball.
Yesterday's shot was wasn't nearly as nasty.
