Piers and Andy from Me and My Golf explain how to hit a long iron like Louis Oosthuizen did for his 2012 Augusta albatross

Only four players in history have posted an albatross at Augusta, with Louis Oosthuizen the most recent to do so during the 2012 Masters.

The South African holed his 276-yard second shot at the par-five second with a four-iron, watching his ball pitch and bounce just short of the green before feeding down the slope in towards the flag.

That albatross on the final day lifted the 2010 champion to the top of the leaderboard, only for Bubba Watson to prevail in a three-hole play-off.
