Before this week, Shane Lowry had never had the chance to play in competition with his golfing idol Tiger Woods. In their third round together this week, Lowry got to witness some history and perseverance from “the best of all time”.

Woods, the five-time and defending Masters champion, posted the highest single-hole score of his career on the shortest hole at Augusta — rinsing three balls into Rae’s Creek en route to a gruesome 10 on the par-3 12th hole.
