This Day in Masters Golf History: April 7

As this year’s Masters is just two days and counting away from starting we recall this date in Masters history when in 1935 Gene Sarazen hit the shot heard round the world by making a double eagle on the 15th hole en route to tying Craig Wood after 72 holes. Sarazen won the 36-hole playoff on the following day by five shots. Also, on this date in 1946, the 10th Masters Tournament returned from being off for four years due to World War II and was won by one of the most unlikeliest winners ever, Herman Keiser, by one shot over Ben Hogan, who would win five years later.
