Augusta - 15th Hole

This Limited Edition of 950 Prints by Linda Hartough features The 15th hole, 500 Yards, Par 5 at Augusta National Gold park Club, Augusta, Georgia. The most famous shot in golf history was recorded at 'Firethorn' when Gene Sarazen scored his historic double eagle on this hole during the 1935 Masters. On the then 485 yard par 5 Sarazen used only two shots. The first sailed about 250 yards: the second - which covered the remaining 235 yards hit the green and rolled in to the cup-became known as 'The Shot Heard Round The World'. Sarazen went on to win the tounament and no other golfer has ever duplicated his famous double eagle. This painting is one of the five commisioned for the ABC television special, 'The Most Dramatic Holes in Golf' hosted by Jack Nicklaus.
