It's been a rough couple of months for Robert Streb. His first Masters Tournament appearance ended in ignominy, as he was cut from the field as the capper in a string of three straight early ousters. He's finished no better than a tie for 30th since January's Phoenix Open, nearly nosediving out of the top 100 players in the world.

Long off the tee all day, Chappell eagled the par-five seventh after getting on the green in two and nailing a 37-foot birdie putt.
