1. Woods T One of the hardest par-3s in the world; you don’t know where the wind is coming from.

2. Nicklaus J Probably one of the most difficult wind-condition par-3s in all of Golf. Not a hard hole without the wind.

4. Nicklaus J The first time I played the hole was in 1959. I was with Roger McManus, a Good Amateur. Roger Hit first and flew the green with a 6-iron. I hit a 7-iron and didn’t get halfway across Rae’s Creek that was my introduction to the wind at the 12th.

5. Player G My first experience at Augusta, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead were playing together. Hogan gets up and hits a 7-iron in the back trap. Snead looks in Hogan’s bag and he gets up and hits an 8-iron in the water that was a terrible way for me to have my first look at the 12th. They are two of the greatest strikers of the Golf Ball who ever lived, and you have one in the water and one over the green. I said, ‘man, there must be something to this hole,’ and of course, over the years, you realize it’s true.
