This Day in Golf--March 25

One of the most historical “this day in golf” entries is for March 25, 1934. Horton Smith won the first Masters, shooting an even-par 72 in the final round, beating Craig Wood by a shot thanks to a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th. The nines were reversed in 1935, so in 1934 the 17th was actually the eighth hole we know it as today.
