This Day in Masters History: April 5

On this date in 1956, amateur Ken Venturi shot a six-under-par 66 to take a one-shot lead over Cary Middlecoff in the Masters Tournament. A few days later he entered the final round in position to be the first amateur winner but skied to 80 and lost by one shot to Jack Burke Jr.
