Default The Masters

As many of you know, for me, this is THE torunament of the year....for many reasons. I have stated in the past that if you polled all card carrying pros and all wannabe pros, this is THE tournament that they would all like on their resume's. The defending champion is IMMTR. His Thurs - Sat rounds were so good that he beat Tiger by 3 shots even though he shot a 75 on Sunday.CINST and SNEBR were one shot behind Woods. There is an amateur playing this year that I'd suggest everyone remember his name...Danny Lee. HARPA has the opportunity to win his 3rd major in a row.

The first Tournament was held March 22, 1934, and beginning in 1940, the Masters was scheduled each year during the first full week in April. That first Tournament was won by Horton Smith, and in the Fall of 1934 the nines were reversed. In 1935 Gene Sarazen hit "the shot heard 'round the world" scoring a double eagle on the par 5 15th hole, tying Craig Wood and forcing a playoff. Sarazen won the 36-hole playoff the following day by five strokes. In 1942 Byron Nelson defeated Ben Hogan 69-70 in an 18-hole playoff and the Tournament was not played the following three years, 1943, 1944 and 1945, during the war. To assist the war effort, cattle and turkeys were raised on the Augusta National grounds.
The 1950's included two victories by Ben Hogan, and the first of four for Arnold Palmer. Palmer's 1958 win began the tradition of Amen Corner. In 1960 the Par 3 Contest was begun, and in 1965-1966 Jack Nicklaus became the first Masters champion to defend his title successfully. During the decade of the 1970's the two founders of the Masters Tournament passed away. Both Jones and Roberts left indelible impressions on the Masters and on the world of golf. The following decade Spaniard Seve Ballesteros won twice and Tom Watson captured his second title. In 1986 at age 46, Nicklaus donned his sixth Green Jacket. And in 1997, Tiger Woods broke the Tournament four-day scoring record that had stood for 32 years. At the 2001 Masters, Woods won his fourth consecutive professional major, and in 2002 became only the third player to win consecutive Masters titles. In 2005 he became the third person to win at least four Tournaments.

Thank you rich for the good information.

I do find it rather interesting #5 on the list on reasons someone can play at The Masters.

The winner of the players championship for the previous two years does matter.

Thank you for something else as well rich.

I'm taking the Ms to work this morning, and as usual I'm tuned into FOX sports radio. Steve Czban goes through the same story, the history, etc. He also mentioned that this kid Lee (whose Korean BTW) is staying in the 'Crows Nest' with the rest of the Amateurs. ( He does not have to stay there, but he is because it's tradition) And the par 3 today is somewhat of a throwback to the good ol days.
Sounds like I need to start paying attention to this great sporting event!

...and thanks!
