HE JUST GETS OUT - Rory McIlroy's shot out of the fairway bunker on the second hole hits the top of the bunker on his way to saving par on the hole during the 75th Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday, April 10. Personally one of my favorite golf shots from 25 years of covering the Masters just because it is so different. I shot it from behind with a Canon 500mm F4.0 and at 8 frames a second the motor drive caught the ball at just the right moment after it caught the lip of the trap. Curtis Compton ccompton@ajc.com
