59 Year Old Sam Snead Surprises Masters Field
At 59 Sam Snead carded a three under par opening round at Augusta, one shot behind leader Jack Nicklaus and one ahead of Arnold Palmer who shot 70. Nicklaus rallied with a six-birdie stretch to reach 68, while Palmer blamed ok irons and fair driving for his 70. Defending champion Gary Player and past masters winners joined a group at 73 as Charles Coody hit a hole in one but finished with a seven on the next hole.
