Hole 8 at Augusta

570 yards, par five

Hole 8 at Augusta

The 8th is a huge par five up the hill with a little dogleg right-to-left at the end.

This is another hole that has been tweaked a lot over the years - ridges put in and taken out, bunkers filled in and enlarged and another 20 yards added two years ago.

Again it is possible, with a bit of good fortune and the wind in the right direction, to reach this hole in two. A good drive, a solid second shot to within 40 yards, chip up and two putts.

It is a simple five, but it is not so easy to get a four.
