In what could have been a scene from the move Tin Cup, Sergio Garcia put five balls in the water at the par-5 15th hole en route to a 13 on Thursday. It tied for highest score on any hole in Masters history and was two shots worse than the previous high score on the hole.

Garcia, the defending champion, spun five approach shots off the green and into the pond guarding the green. He went from 2-over to 10-over par on his round.
