April 9, 1978: Gary Player comes from seven shots back to win his third Masters title at age 42, shooting a then-record tying round of 64. Player wins by one shot over Rod Funseth, defending champion Tom Watson and 54-hole leader Hubert Green. Player starts the day in 10th place!

@GolfMonthly Meaningless without including all players & a present day valuation…

@KentuckyLimey @Globalstats11 Clearly not “statistics”…

@Globalstats11 What’s the criteria for this?

@Marc_Player @Globalstats11 And Woods above Nicklaus 🙈”lies, damn lies & statistics”…

@Globalstats11 You talk about statistics yet place Jones & Hogan above Gary Player? 🙈🙉🙊

@Jimmy10127925 @Cam_Jourdan Mmmm, he just said he shouldn’t drive & to get a chauffeur 🙈🙉🙊

@Cam_Jourdan Gary you need to stop talking . TW who knows how many times he has been driving taking illegal drugs? He could have killed a family or someone or himself. Then he calls the felon president. You’re embarrassing Gary. TW is dangerous in a car.

Gary Player was asked what advice he would give to Tiger Woods: "Do I blame him for taking medicine? Hell, no. He has sleep deprivation. Do I blame him for taking something to help him sleep? No. But I don't think he should drive a car. When you're taking that medicine, it's dangerous when you're driving a car, same as it's dangerous when you look at your cell phone in the car. There's 6,000 accidents a day in motor cars. "So I think all he's got to do is just not drive a car and get a chauffeur. My reflexes, I think, are as good as when I was 20, but I don't drive anymore. I get a chauffeur. I think that's the answer to it."

@eamonlynch Rolapp will loose…

Rolapp v. Ridley could prove interesting, if Rolapp wants to go there. golfweek.usatoday.com/story/sports/g…

@MMcEwanGolf @golfsportint55 Amazing facts…

Honorary starter Gary Player (90) played in his first Masters in 1957. Back then: - The winner got $8,750 - Tom Watson was seven years old - Fred Ridley was four - Queen Elizabeth II was five years into her reign - Dwight D. Eisenhower was the US president - Harold Macmillan was the PM - Elvis Presley was at No.1 with "All Shook Up"

@GolfDigest Did he perhaps give her one of his little umbrella pins? 🙈😜

@GolfMonthly Yes and Gary Player was the only “member” that pushed the club to do so both publicly & privately…

Man. Mountain. Horse.

This is my favorite golf photo each year, freezing a moment in time each spring of the gathering of generations who share in one of the most fulfilling accomplishments in sports. We see how they age, but their youthful joy in wearing that Green Jacket never fades. @TheMasters

"Done, through, washed up." That's what they wrote about Jack Nicklaus the week before the 1986 Masters. He was 46. Hadn't won a major in six years. A friend taped the newspaper column to the fridge of his rental house in Augusta. He shot 30 on the back nine that Sunday. Passed Norman, Ballesteros, Kite, and Watson. Won his sixth green jacket and 18th major. This week marks 40 years since that round. Thursday morning, Nicklaus hits the honorary first tee shot to open the 90th Masters. Some ideas don't expire.
