One of the most commonly heard phrases relating to The Masters is 'Amen Corner'... But what actually is it? If you thought that Amen Corner was the term for the whole of the 11th, 12th and 13th holes around the lowest point of Augusta National Golf Club, you're only almost right!
Although that is what the term now universally means, when it was first penned by renowned golf writer, Herbert Warren Wind in a Sports Illustrated article in 1958, it was designed to add extra clout and excitement to the spell from the approach shot on 11 through to the tee-shot on 13. In others words, all the action you can readily watch from the same spot on the 12th hole.
