This Day in Golf History: March 25

On this date in 1934, the first Masters concluded, with the then title Augusta National Invitation Tournament. Horton Smith was the winner when he birdied the 17th hole to win by one shot over Craig Wood. The hole is actually the present eighth; the nines were switched the following year so the back nine became the front and front became the back.
