1968 Masters Tournament

1968 Masters Tournament

The 1968 Masters Tournament was contested from April 11 to April 14 at Augusta National Golf Club. It was the 32nd Masters Tournament. 74 players entered the tournament and 52 of them made the cut at five-over-par (149).

Bob Goalby birdied the 13th and 14th and eagled the 15th to record a final round of 66. At first it appeared that he and Roberto DeVicenzo would play in a playoff, but DeVicenzo returned an incorrect scorecard showing a 4 on the 17th instead of a birdie 3. Tommy Aaron incorrectly marked the 4 and DeVicenzo failed to catch the mistake and signed the scorecard. Professional Golfers' Association rules stated that the higher written score signed by a golfer on his card must stand. As such, the error gave Goalby the championship.

Gary Player finished tied for 7th place while Arnold Palmer missed the cut. This was the 14th time that Palmer played in the Masters and it was the first time he was cut. This was also the first Masters tournament that 6-time major champion Lee Trevino participated in. He finished tied for 40th.

Bob Rosburg won the Par 3 contest with a score of 22.
