| 1966 Masters | |
Who was the first back-to-back winner of The Masters? It was Jack Nicklaus, and he completed the feat at the 1966 Masters.
Brewer had a chance to win in regulation, but bogied the 72nd hole. He did return to win the 1967 Masters, however.
His victory at the 1966 Masters was Nicklaus' third win at The Masters, and his fifth major championship victory.
The 1966 Masters was the final playing appearance in the tournament by Byron Nelson, who missed the cut.
