Defiant Augusta National chair holds line on women members
Augusta National chairman Hootie Johnson, 71, remained defiant over admitting women to join the private club ahead of the Masters. He said the Masters will be played in April and a woman member is not planned, arguing the club is private and not bound to public pressure or to racial civil rights comparisons. Johnson defended the club's privacy in response to Martha Burk's campaign and dismissed sponsors' threats, noting strong support from members and readers as shown by a Lancaster poll.
