AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Dustin Johnson made Masters history Friday by making three eagles during a second-round 67 at Augusta National.
Johnson, a long hitter who won earlier this year at Doral, eagled the second, eighth and 15th holes. He also birdied the 13th to play the four par-5 holes in 7-under par.
No player had ever made more than two eagles in the same round. This is the 79th Masters.
"It was pretty special and a lot of fun, too," said Johnson, who will receive crystal goblets for each of the eagles.
At the second hole, Johnson hit a 5-iron 207 yards to 18 feet. It was 250 yards with a 3-iron to 11 feet at the eighth. And at the 15th, Johnson covered 205 yards with a 5-iron, knocking it to 2 feet.
"It wasn't like I was hitting it any farther," Johnson said. "It was normal shots that I've had in the past. Just it's always tough around here to hit the shots the correct distance with the wind. The wind was blowing pretty hard today. So to figure out the wind and get the shot in the right spot, it was tough. But I just hit some great shots on those holes."
He overcame a double-bogey on the first hole and also made birdies at the fifth and 16th with bogeys at the 10th and 18th.
Johnson completed 36 holes at 137 and trails leader Jordan Spieth by seven strokes.
