This Day in Masters History: April 11

One of the legendary Masters finishes took place on this date in 1965 at the 28th playing. Jack Nicklaus won his second green coat, shooting a tournament record of 271, 17 under par. He was nine strokes ahead of Arnold Palmer and Gary Player, one of the few times The Big Three finished 1-2-3. Also on this date in 1978, Arnold Palmer played an exhibition, “Alabama’s Tribute to Jerry Ford,” at Pine Tree, Birmingham, Ala., to benefit American Cancer Society and March of Dimes.
