Few things can counteract a bad day on the greens like holing out from the fairway. Especially when the conditions at Augusta National Golf Club get difficult.
No one understands that fact more than Patrick Cantlay. The 32-year-old, during his eighth Masters tournament appearance, skipped the putter twice throughout the weekend after holing out from the fairway twice in the first two days.
Believe it or not, but Cantlay’s two eagles make up just over 14 percent of all the eagles made at the 2024 Masters, and they make up two of the seven total hole-outs from the fairway throughout the tournament.
So far, six golfers have sunk a shot from the fairway throughout the weekend. Cantlay leads the pack, having holed out twice throughout the weekend.
Cantlay’s first came on Thursday, when he eagled the 17th hole on the way to a 1-under 71.
Cantlay eagled again on the third hole Friday, and he ended the round with a 3-over 75.
After a messy back nine Saturday, DeChambeau holed out on the 18th hole for birdie and a final score of 75.
The former Open Championship winner eagled the 14th hole after holing out from 118 yards away.
Tyrrell Hatton holed out for birdie on the fifth hole in his opening round.
The defending Masters champion notched the third hole-out for birdie in the tournament after holing out from 80 yards on the seventh hole.
