| 1983 Masters | |
Seve Ballesteros won his second Masters championship, but he had to wait until Monday to do it. Rain cancelled play during Friday's second round, pushing the tournament's finish back a day until Monday.
We're sure the wait was worth it for Ballesteros, who finished four strokes in front of a stellar cast of chasers - Ben Crenshaw and Tom Kite, Raymond Floyd and Tom Watson and Hale Irwin. But Ballesteros took most of the drama out of the day early, starting his final round 4-under over the first four holes.
The 1983 Masters is also notable as the final Masters in which Arnold Palmer played the weekend. Palmer opened with a 68, just a stroke off the lead. He faded over the following three rounds, but this goes down as the last time he made the cut in a Masters.
