Augusta National sided with the latter for the final round of the 89th Masters Tournament.
On the 50th anniversary of 1975, the pin placement on the 16th hole — located Sunday in the back right corner — will be similarly placed to where Jack Nicklaus famously holed his 40-foot birdie putt.
“That’s where Jack holed his putt in 1975,” patron Bill Wood said when he noticed Sunday’s pin placement.
In recent years, including when Tiger Woods holed his chip in 2005, the Sunday pin on No. 16 has been located on the bottom left portion of the green.
