The final day of the 2022 Masters has begun with players getting some good warm conditions. However, since it is the Masters Sunday, a few hole locations are challenging where we will see players struggling. But the 30-year-old Harry Higgs doesn’t seem to be bothered at all as he made an incredible tap in eagle on the second hole. 

The 575 yards par-5 second hole has a back right hole location for the final day. Moreover, just below the hole, there is a greenside bunker to stop players from choosing the aggressive line. Meanwhile, Harry Higgs, after an incredible tee shot of around 354 yards, had around 225 yards to the hole.

Higgs played an incredible approach shot with iron and got the ball to the middle of the green. Furthermore, the ball landed in an ideal position as it started rolling towards the hole location. And to everyone’s surprise, Harry fell short of an albatross by just 3 inches. Hence, he just had to tap in for an eagle and recover the two strokes that he lost on the first hole after a double bogey.
