1935 Masters Tournament

The 1935 Masters Tournament was the second Masters Tournament, then still known as the "Augusta National Invitation Tournament," held April4–8 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, US.

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 (235yards, 4wood) to tie Craig Wood and force a 36-hole playoff. This second shot at Firethorn, the par-5 15thhole, then 485 yards (443 m), is referred to in golf as the "shot heard 'round the world."

Sarazen won the Monday playoff by five strokes, even-par144 to 149(+5), and parred the 15thhole in both rounds. Tournament co-founder and host Bobby Jones finished at 297, fifteen strokes back in a tie for 25thplace. The purse was $5,000 and the winner's share was $1,500.
