| 1941 Masters | |
Craig Wood finished second in the first Masters in 1934. Then he finished second in second Masters in 1935. In the latter, Wood lost in a playoff to Gene Sarazen.
At the 1941 Masters, Wood finally broke through for that major championship victory. Wood took the lead on the first day with a 66 and never relinquished it, becoming the first wire-to-wire winner at The Masters.
The 1941 Masters also marks the final major championship appearance by 11-time major winner Walter Hagen. Hagen's career was already in decline by the time The Masters began in 1934, and his best finish here was a tie for 11th. Hagen carded an 87 in the first round of the 1941 Masters and then withdrew.
