Masters Meltdown: Li's Unthinkable 10 on 13
13 Apr
Summary
- Haotong Li recorded a 10 on the 13th hole after a triple bogey.
- This major score drop took Li from 7-under to 1-over par.
- Li recovered from illness to contend but missed Masters invite.

A spectacular collapse on Augusta National's 13th hole marked a rollercoaster Masters for golfer Haotong Li. After an earlier triple bogey on the 12th, Li recorded an astonishing quintuple bogey 10 on the 13th, despite finding the fairway off the tee. This series of errors saw his score jump from 7-under to 1-over par in just two holes. Although Li managed to see the humor in his dramatic struggle, his final score placed him tied for 38th, earning $101,250 but forfeiting an automatic invitation to next year's Masters.
Li's week was remarkable for his very presence in contention, especially after revealing he spent a night with an upset stomach. He admitted to feeling extremely unwell on the morning of his round, to the point of contemplating withdrawal. Despite these health challenges and a viral moment for a topped shot on the 15th, Li's performance was a testament to his resilience, though the final round's events significantly impacted his tournament standing and future invitations.
