Amateur sinks the legendary 'Tiger Woods chip' on 16 at the Masters
The play of Bryson DeChambeau has caused fellow amateur Romain Langasque for fly under the rader, but the 20-year-old British Amateur winner put up a stellar score on Sunday morning, which would be a sign of things to come as the final round progresses.
Just one day after shooting an 11-over-par 83 at Augusta National, Langasque put up a 4-under 68, and recorded five birdies over his last nine holes. The Frenchman made the turn at 15-over, which would have put him second-to-last in the clubhouse, but he came home with 31 on the back.

On the par-3 16th hole, Langasque's tee shot flew over the green and settled in the collection area. He knew just how to play his second shot.

Langasque wasn't quite as far away from the hole as Tiger Woods was in 2005 - and the stakes were considerably lower - but it was still an amazing hole-out.
