1935 Masters Tournament


The 1935 Masters Tournament was the second Masters Tournament, then still known as the "Augusta National Invitation Tournament," held April 4–8 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
In a change from the first year, the nines were switched to their present order, with the finishing hole at "Holly." In the fourth round, Gene Sarazen holed a double eagle to tie Craig Wood and force a 36-hole playoff. This second shot at "Firethorn," the par-5 15th hole, then, is referred to in golf as the "shot heard 'round the world."
Sarazen won the Monday playoff by five strokes, even-par 144 to 149, and parred the 15th hole in both rounds. Tournament co-founder and host Bobby Jones finished at 297, fifteen strokes back in a tie for 25th place. The purse was $5,000 and the winner's share was $1,500.
