Sergio Garcia has very little chance of repeating as champion at the Masters this year, and he will almost certainly look back on one hole in the first round that totally ruined his chances.
In what will likely go down as the most surreal scene of the weekend, Garcia hit five consecutive balls into the water on the 15th hole. Four of them came from almost the exact same spot after he took his drop. The video below shows Sergio hitting his 10th shot on the par-5 and his fifth different ball of the hole:

Garcia carded a 13 on the hole. He was just 2-over par going into it and came out of it 10-over. That was the closest thing to a real-life “Tin Cup” moment you will ever see.
Sergio enjoyed his time at the Masters so much last year that he ended up naming his daughter accordingly. No one can ever take that green jacket away from him, but that Thursday meltdown on the 15th hole will always be remembered.
