1978 Masters

Gary became the oldest winner of the Masters, a fact that pleased him enormously. This Masters was Gary’s ninth major championship. He shot a record 64, closing with a record 30 on the back nine that included 6 birdies. Tom Watson, as defending champion, put the famous “Green Jacket” onto Player.
