We've all seen someone dunk it in Rae's Creek when battling the back nine at Augusta National, and so has Lou Holtz.

So much so that the College Football legend and Augusta National member, who died this week, changed up his whole strategy to avoid it—and was no stranger to making par that way.

On SportsCenter, Scott Van Pelt and Rece Davis were reminiscing about the legendary coach's golf game, when they brought up his approach to Amen Corner's second stop.
