text: masters golf tournament question? there was a golfer at the masters on the weekend who shot a 10 on one hole. who was it and how in the world did he shot a 10? his name is rocco mediate. he made a 10 on the par 3 12th by doing the following:  1st shot: hit the ball into the water (resulting in a 1-stroke penalty). 3rd shot: from the "drop area," he hit the ball into the water again (another 1 stroke penalty). 5th shot: from the drop area again, he hit the ball long, and into the bunker behind the green. 6th shot: he hit the ball back onto the green, but hit it too hard, resulting in the ball going back into the water (the same water he hit his first 2 balls into) -- again, 1 stoke penalty. 8th shot: hit onto the green he then proceeded to take 2 putts, for a 10.  not good.
