Challenging par-5 eighth hole at Augusta National has uphill climb, blind shot
Bruce Devlin hit the best shot he never saw at the Masters. It was the first round in 1967, and the Australian was 240 yards away on the par-5 eighth hole at Augusta National. He took a lash with his 4-wood. The ball landed on the front of the green, rolled some 60 feet and took one last turn into the cup for an albatross. “I knew it was in when I hit it,” Devlin said that day, and it didn’t take long for reporters to appreciate the humor. It’s a blind shot.
