How the 13th hole won the Masters for Garcia
It was a lucky 13 for Sergio Garcia on Sunday at the Masters.
Garcia looked to be done after bogeys on No. 10 and 11 and a wayward drive on the par-5 13th that found the heavy bushes left of the fairway.

The Spaniard was forced to take an unplayable lie and dropped and punched his third shot up the fairway, leaving an 89-yard wedge shot to the green.

Justin Rose, Garcia's playing partner and leader by two at the time, knocked his second shot over the green. Rose looked certain to get up-and-down for a birdie and stretch his lead to at least three and possibly four if Garcia failed to make par.
After Garcia wedged it to seven feet and made his par putt, Rose failed to make birdie, which gave the Spaniard a boost of momentum.
Wow Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia get the same score on 13. That's golf! #themasters

Garcia would birdie No. 14, then got a huge roar at the 15th when he made eagle.
