Hi everyone just found this clippling from Billy Casper's round

Casper endures Augusta nightmare

Casper put his ball in the water five times at the short 16th
Billy Casper hit five balls into the water at the par-three 16th, his seventh, on his way to an embarrassing 14 at Augusta on Thursday.
The 73-year-old American's 11-over total was the highest ever recorded for a single hole at the Masters.

Casper, playing here for the first time since 2001, would go on to card a 34-over-par 106, the worst round in tournament history by 11 shots.

A winner of 51 titles between 1956 and 1975, Casper won the Masters in 1970.

The 170-yard 16th, named Redbud, requires a precise tee shot played entirely over water.

American Tom Weiskopf produced a 10-over 13 at the par-three 12th during the 1980 Masters.

Japan's Tommy Nakajima ran up an eight-over 13 at the 13th during the 1978 tournament.
