With septuple-bogeys these golfers at the Masters (including last year's champion) needed more than prayers at Amen Corner

The 12th hole of Augusta National Golf Course is called Amen Corner, but for Kevin Na and Bubba Watson they needed more than prayers as they both posted embarrassing double-digit scores on a par-3 hole.

Na, the 28-year-old from South Korea, found one way to make the final day of the Masters a memorable one: by scoring a septuple-bogey on the 12th.

An hour later Na was joined for the low-light by defending champion Watson with the same score.

Blemish on the score cards: both Kevin Na and Bubba Watson sunk three holes into the water on the 12th hole on the final day of the Masters

Splash: Na found three of his tee shots land in the water on the 12th hole. After the third shot he looked to visibly curse.

The all-time worst round of golf in the last five decades on a PGA tour came when John Daly shot an 18 on the par-5 sixth hole at Bay Hill in 1998
The septuble-bogeys came after both golfers sunk their shots into the water three times. 

Na handled the embarrassment with a sense of humor, smiling and laughing with the crowd.

This is not the first time Na has posted a comically high number on a golf course.

At the Valero Texas Open two years ago Na shot a 16 on the par-4 9th hole, the worst score ever for that course.

The series of events that unfolded would make any amateur golfer feel a bit bitter about their game. At one point the ball ricocheted off a tree and hit Na.

For Watson, his meltdown on the 12th hole at this year's Masters was surprising since he was mounting a nice comeback after a disappointing round on Friday.

Swing and a miss: Na at least had the support of the crowd around him when his fourth tee shot finally landed well beyond the water

The reaction to Kevin Na's round on the 12th hole received plenty of pity reaction from writers or fans who could likely relate to his woes

Even when Watson found the bunker on his second shot, when he tried to wedge the golf ball out it rolled until it landed in the water

Watson had actually played well on Sunday before the 12th hole. He ended the day with six birdies but posted a 77 for the day.
Watson will be on hand at the end of the Masters to present the Green Jacket to the winner. He did make six birdies on Sunday, but they were perhaps overshadowed by what transpired at Amen Corner.
Both Na and Watson can take some consolation that there was once actually a worse score on the hole.

In 1980 Tom Weiskoph posted a 13 after he sunk five balls into the water.
