Masters Warmth Beyond the Green as Edwards Qualifies

Danny Edwards, the last qualifier for the 1977 Masters, arrived at Augusta with a $47,000 prize and little prior course exposure.

Edwards, 25, rose from a three-year pro career earning about $25,000 to earn a spot after winning Greensboro's event and embraced Augusta's tradition without undue nerves.
