This Day in Golf History--March 25

The global health pandemic has put life on hold, including suspension of pro tour golf, but we can celebrate golf history, such as the first Masters finishing on this date in 1934. Called the Augusta National Invitation Tournament, it was won by Horton Smith when he holed a 20-foot birdie putt at the 17th hole and finished one shot ahead of Craig Wood. That first year, the nines were reversed, and the 17th was today’s par-5 eighth hole.
