With its near-azure water traps, ivory bunkers and its immaculate fairways and greens, Augusta National is one of the most iconicย golfย courses in the world.
Every April, the eyes of the sporting world turn to this little pocket of paradise in Georgia, USA, with the best golfers on the planet fighting it out for the annual Masters.
For each year's winner, a lifetime invitation to return is on offer, as well as the snappy green jacket, of course.
But while just two golfers can lay claim to have scored the lowest round in Masters history, only one golfer will never boast to having endured the worst.
In 1986, Nick Price scored a Masters' best 9-under 63 during his third round. Price's record stood for a decade before being matched by Australian Greg Norman who equaled the mark during his opening round in 1996.

However, the worst official round in Masters history was shot by Charles Kunkle during his final round outing in 1956 when the American scored a painstaking 95.
