Stanford sophomore Andrea Revuelta nearly made history during the final round of the 2026 Augusta National Women's Amateur, coming inches away from recording a hole-in-one at the par-3 12th hole. Only three players in Masters Tournament history have ever recorded an ace at the treacherous Golden Bell hole, and Revuelta's shot had the perfect trajectory before lipping out at the last moment.

Why it matters

The par-3 12th hole at Augusta National is one of the most famous and challenging in all of golf, with its small green and notorious water hazard. Achieving a hole-in-one there is an incredibly rare feat, with only three players accomplishing it in the Masters Tournament's history. Revuelta's near-miss was a thrilling moment that showcased her skill and the difficulty of the iconic hole.

The details

After making birdie at the par-4 11th, Revuelta stepped up to the tee at the par-3 12th with momentum. Her tee shot had the perfect trajectory, easily clearing the water hazard and rolling directly toward the cup. The ball looked destined for the hole before grazing the edge and lipping out to the right. For perspective, the leader coming into the final round, Asterisk Talley, carded a quadruple bogey at the same hole just a few minutes later after going into the water twice.

• Revuelta's near-hole-in-one occurred during the final round of the 2026 Augusta National Women's Amateur on Saturday.
