Player's Charge at Augusta
« on: April 11, 2009, 07:41:01 AM »
Was Gary Player's final day charge (1978?)...birdies on seven of the final 10 holes...the greatest last round charge ever at the Masters?

While not a final round charge, it is generally forgotten that in his last Masters appearance at the age of 54, in 1967 Ben Hogan carded a 30 on the back nine at Augusta.

Jack's 30 on the back nine in 86 with a bogey and a miss inside in 10 feet.
Eagle, Birdie, Birdie on 15, 16, and 17.

That shot at #7 was something special...  Am I the only one rooting Phil along this afternoon?

He is on fire right now. If he can get to 13 at -10, he's the favorite.

I got so sick of hearing about it at school the next day, I vowed never to miss the Masters TV coverage again. Thirty-one years on and still as good as my word...
