This Day in Masters History: April 15

In the concluding date to Masters history for this time frame, on this date in 1979, Fuzzy Zoeller won the first sudden-death playoff in Masters history, over Ed Sneed and Tom Watson. Jack Nicklaus missed out by one shot from making it a four-way playoff. Zoeller won on No. 11, the second playoff hole, winning the tournament in his first try.
