This Day in Golf History: March 25

One of the greatest “this day in golf” entries for any date is for March 25 in 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 No. 17 (the eighth hole now). This is the only time the Masters finished in the month of March.
