Defending Masters champion Sergio Garcia entered the history books for a different reason on day one of the Masters, taking 13 shots on the 15th hole.
Garcia hit five balls in the water at the par-five as his hopes of a successful defence ended at the hole which had ignited his title run 12 months earlier.
In 2017, Garcia's eagle three saw him draw level with Justin Rose, but this time around he needed fully 10 shots more as he plummeted down the leaderboard.
It was the joint-highest score ever carded in the Masters and the worst on the 15th hole, two more than the previous record jointly held by Jumbo Ozaki, Ben Crenshaw and Ignacio Garrido.
"I don't know what to tell you," Garcia said. "It's one of those things. I feel like it's the first time in my career where I make a 13 without missing a shot. Simple as that.
"I felt like I hit a lot of good shots and unfortunately the ball just didn't want to stop. So it's just unfortunate, but that's what it is.
"It's not the first time the pin's been there, but with the firmness of the greens and everything I felt like the ball was going to stop and unfortunately for whatever reason it didn't want to."

The Spaniard responded with a birdie at the 16th hole, eventually carding a nine-over-par round of 81 to sit alongside amateur and fireman Matt Parziale on the leaderboard.
It was worse still for England's Harry Ellis, who shot 86 on his Masters debut, while Ian Woosnam and Kiradech Aphibarnrat both carded rounds of 79.
"The score got massive but I felt pretty comfortable," Ellis said. "The first tee was great. To look down the first and for them to announce your name was really cool. I just got off to a little rough start and just hit some shots that I haven't hit for a while.
"Last night with my coach here as well I was hitting it great, really good, so I was very excited about going out there. It's a little bit hard when you know you get off to a rough start and then start a little rough on the back nine, you kind of lose all your momentum and what you were looking forward to.
"But I'm not trying to make it [the cut] tomorrow, I'm just trying to keep learning. And when you have rounds like this you learn the most. And I'm open to that, so it's fun. So I'll come back tomorrow and hopefully post a good score."
Speaking about his meeting with Jack Nicklaus, Ellis added: "To be able to sit one on one with him and listen to how he played the course and how he sees the course was great.
"The footprint of the course is still here, obviously it's lengthened over time, but the same principles apply. And the principles he told me I didn't do today, which was probably part of the problem.
"But when you have got a man who's won 18 majors and you're allowed to sit opposite to him and listen to him talk, it's pretty inspiring and I was very grateful to be able to do it."
