This Day in Masters History: April 6

On this date in 1936, the Third Masters Tournament ended. After the wild finish the previous year when Gene Sarazen made his double eagle on the 15th hole, this one ended in a second victory for the 1934 inaugural winner Horton Smith, who beat Harry Cooper by one. Other April 6 Masters moments: Arnold Palmer shot a final-round 73 in 1958, but still won his first Masters by one stroke. In 1955, the Sarazen Bridge was dedicated; it’s the bridge that players cross up by the green on the par-5 15th, the hole that Sarazen famously double-eagled.
