This Day in Masters History: April 14

This was a memorable but not a pleasant day in Masters history. On this date in 1968, Bob Goalby was declared the winner of the Masters when it was revealed Roberto De Vicenzo signed an incorrect scorecard and had to accept a 4 instead of a 3 on the 17th hole in the final round. Tommy Aaron had written down the wrong score and Roberto didn’t notice it and had to take the higher number according to the Rules of Golf.
