Bubba Watson almost made double eagle at No. 2 today. Here's a brief history of double eagles at the Masters.

With only four double eagles in tournament history, it is the hardest trophy to obtain. When Bruce Devlin made a double eagle in 1967 on No. 8, Masters Chairman Clifford Roberts decided that Devlin should receive a large crystal bowl.

According to the media guide, Roberts first gave a crystal bowl to Gene Sarazen, who made the tournament’s first double eagle, on No. 15 in 1935. The other double eagles in tournament play came from Jeff Maggert on No. 13 in 1994 and Louis Oosthuizen on No. 2 in 2012.
