Morgan Hoffmann gets eagle, roar to remember
Morgan Hoffmann experienced a career moment in his first Masters Tournament, followed by a sound he’ll never forget.
Hoffmann holed out from 123 yards on the par-4 third hole for eagle. He hit a pitching wedge to the middle of the green, and the ball spun back about 10 feet into the hole.
“I just wanted to run it back there a little bit,” Hoffmann said. “Right when I hit it, (caddie) Steve (Underwood) and I were kind of licking our chops. It was nice that it trickled in there.”
Hoffmann, who went on to shoot even-par 72 and is 1-over for the tournament, said he enjoyed the crowd’s reaction to the shot.
“What cooler place to have the crowds roar for you than out here at Augusta?” he said. “It’s really cool memories. I’ll remember that roar for a long time.”
Hoffmann also eagled No. 13 by making a 44-foot putt uphill to the back-right pin. It was part of a wild Saturday for Hoffmann that included two birdies and six bogeys.
“It was probably one of the craziest rounds of golf I’ve ever played,” he said.
