Aaron Wins Masters in Shootout After Card Error
Tommy Aaron claimed the Masters title with a 5 under par 283, beating J C Snead by one stroke as Jack Nicklaus and others trailed. A mistaken score by Aaron's playing partner Johnny Miller briefly jeopardized the win when a par 5 on the 13th was recorded as a birdie 4, later corrected before signing.
