Sahith Theegala nails incredible chip-in for birdie at Masters

Sahith Theegala made the most of his first Masters appearance on Sunday as he hit an incredible chip shot on the 16th hole.

Theegala was sitting at 5-under par through 15 holes when he found himself in the gallery on his second shot. He managed to chip the ball onto the green and into the hole for an incredible birdie.

The shot made the rounds on social media and had everyone from the golf world weighing in, with some comparing it to the one Tiger Woods made during the 2005 Masters.

In that Masters, Woods used his incredible chip-in at the time to win the Masters. He defeated Chris DiMarco in a playoff to pick up his fourth green jacket at the time.
