The Perry Maxwell course challenges players with uneven and sidehill lies and undulating greens.

Iguodala left with such respect for the course that he even changed the way he practices golf; he’s tried to find ways to account for uphill, downhill and sidehill lies, which are all part of the charm and challenge at the Masters.

After his tee shot to 3 feet on the 211-yard 13th hole, he rolled in a 25-foot putt on the next hole, a birdie putt from just over 35 feet on the 15th, two-putted from a sidehill lie on the fringe at the par-5 16th and looked to be in trouble on the par-3 17th when his tee shot landed beyond the green near the creek.

With a near-miraculous seven-iron from a sidehill lie in the rough and a 14-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole, Long held off playing partners Phil Mickelson and Adam Hadwin to win what is now known as The American Express and pocket $1.06 million.

That included a 175-yard approach off a sidehill lie into the par-4 final hole to set up the winning stroke in the long-running celebrity pro-am tournament once hosted by Bob Hope.
