1937 In the last round, Byron Nelson went birdie-eagle on the 12th and 13th holes to make up six strokes on Ralph Guldahl, who made double bogey-bogey. Nelson went on to win, and his feat is marked by the Nelson Bridge, which connects the 13th tee with the fairway.

1954 Prior to the tournament, the club changed the contours of the green and re-arranged the bunkers. But it was neither change that did in amateur Billy Joe Patton, who had a one-shot lead as he played the 13th hole in the final round. Going for the green, he found the tributary of Rae’s Creek that cuts in front of the green and made double bogey.

1982 In a tournament known for eagles on the back nine, first-time player Dan Pohl became the only player to make back-to-back eagles, on the 13th and 14th holes in the third round. Pohl ended up losing to Craig Stadler in a playoff.

1985 After shooting 80 in the first round, Curtis Strange fought back and had gained the lead in the final round when his 4-wood from 208 yards found the tributary. Strange had a decent lie in an inch of water and tried to play out. The ball nearly climbed the bank before rolling back in. He got out on his second try and made bogey, but wound up losing the lead and the tournament.

The following year, the club installed a dam that raised the water level in the tributary, preventing the opportunity to play from the hazard. Another change in 1995 lowered the water level, once again allowing for random lies and recovery chances.

1994 Jeff Maggert made the only double eagle on the hole, holing a 3-iron from 222 yards. The highest score on the hole is Tommy Nakajima’s 13 in 1978.
