Masters Loss of Meaning As Bobby Jones Is Honored
Gene Sarazen and other old pros felt the 22nd Masters meant little as Bobby Jones, now wheelchair bound, was wheeled onto the 12th green via the Byron Nelson bridge. Sarazen stayed briefly, then left, noting Jones’s illness and legend overshadowed by the ceremony and Augusta National.
