Iconic hole at the Masters looks unrecognisable as course decimated by Augusta flash floods ...Middle East

The Masters’ iconic Amen Corner has been left decimated by flash floods in Augusta.

Footage shared on social media has shown the devastating impact of flooding on the famous three-hole stretch at Augusta National, the annual home of the golf major.

Last September, Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc across America’s Gulf Coast, bringing extreme winds and flooding across several states.

According to the National Hurricane Center, 250 lives were lost as a result of Helene, while an estimated $78.7 billion in damages were inflicted

It was the deadliest hurricane in the US since Katrina in 2005.

Among the affected states was Georgia, with the Masters venue in Augusta unable to escape winds which reached up to 100mph.

Hundreds of trees fell down at the prestigious course, damaging one of golf’s most famous greens on the par-three 16th.

While the Augusta National made a remarkable recovery in the months that followed, adverse weather conditions now look to have struck again in Georgia.

On Sunday, a flash flood warning was issued in the course’s locality after 2-2.5 inches of heavy rainfall fell, with even more expected.

It wasn’t long before the warning came true, with footage online now revealing the impact of this on one of golf’s most iconic stretches.

In a clip shared on TikTok, the 12th hole of the Augusta National can be seen submerged in thick, muddy water.

With this hole forming one third of the Masters’ famous ‘Amen Corner’, which consists of holes 11, 12 and 13, it looks totally unplayable in its current state.

Hole 12 is probably the most famous par three in world golf, and is known for its narrow target, water in front, trouble at the back and swirling wind.

But on this occasion, water looked to be all around, with only the green and bunker still resembling a golf course.

Though it was first speculated that the video was from September, when Hurricane Helene struck, it was later confirmed on X by golf account, NUCLR GOLF,that the footage was taken on Sunday.

The full extent of the recent flood’s impact on Augusta National remains to be seen, but if the damage is anything like Hurricane Helene’s, Augusta National will once again need renovations.

Following the September storm, four greens (1, 8, 15, and 16) were rebuilt, either due to damage or as part of ongoing renovations.

Drone footage at the time revealed huge destruction, including strewn trees and damaged fairways.

The storm’s impact is still clear to see in Augusta, with an estimated 1500 trees lost last year, leaving the course significantly more bare.

Golf fans will certainly be hoping the latest damage to the course can be easily fixed, with the 12th hole gaining quite the reputation.

It has been the scene of many disasters over the years, with defending champion Jordan Spieth taking seven in the final round in 2016 in a dramatic back-nine collapse.

Meanwhile in 2020, sporting great Tiger Woods made 10 in the final round.
