This Day in Masters History: April 7

On this date in 1940, Jimmy Demaret shot a 71 to comfortably win the Masters by four shots over Lloyd Mangrum. It was Demaret’s second Masters played and his first of three victories. Also, in one of the biggest shockers in Masters history, the 10th playing was won on this date in 1946 by Herman Keiser by one shot over legendary Ben Hogan. On this date in 1960, in what would be a magical Masters for him, Arnold Palmer shot a first-round 67. And in 1983, Arnie roused his fans with first-round 68 at the 47th Masters but finished 74-76-78 for T-36.
