Dustin Johnson tamed Augusta National Golf Club in November 2020, taking advantage of soft course conditions to shoot a record-shattering 20-under-par and winning his first green jacket.

There have been countless scoring highlights and some lowlights at the Masters since the inaugural tournament in 1934.

Gene Sarazen's double eagle on the 15th hole in 1935, dubbed "The Shot Heard 'Round the World," gave the tournament its first signature moment.

In 1968, Argentina's Roberto De Vicenzo signed an incorrect scorecard, costing him a playoff against eventual winner Bob Goalby.

And Jack Nicklaus shot 30 on the back nine for a final round 65 in the 1986 Masters to become the oldest champion at 46.
