The 2012 Masters was where two of the tournament's greatest shots in history unfolded. First, it was Louis Oosthuizen who made an albatross in the final round on the second hole -- the first in Masters history. Then, it was Bubba Watson from the pine straw on the second hole of the playoff against Oosthuizen, which set up Watson's first Masters win.
Watson won the $1.440 million winner's share of the $8 million purse.
