Sarazen Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sarazen Bridge is the name given to the footbridge that runs over the water hazard in front of the green, on the Par-5 15th hole at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, site of the famed Masters Tournament. It is named for the legendary Gene Sarazen, who, at the 1935 Masters, hit the 'Shot heard round the World'. It was a final round 225 yard 4 wood on that hole that went in, giving him a very rare double-eagle 2. The shot led to him later winning the tournament in a playoff.
Players must cross the Sarazen Bridge to get onto the 15th green. The hazard creates headaches for players, as balls hit on the green often roll off the green and into the water.
