This Day in Golf History: April 2

On this date in 1939, Ralph Guldahl won the sixth Masters Tournament by one shot over Sam Snead after shooting 70 and 69 in a 36-hole final day due to a Thursday rainout. Guldahl had an overall nine-under score of 279 and stopped a two-year streak of finishing second. With the Dinah Shore, aka ANA Inspiration, aka Chevron Ch. usuallu being played this week, among tournament history moments was Juli Inkster winning the then named Nabisco Dinah Shore in 1989 at Mission Hills C.C. She won by five shots in a wire-to-wire victory.
