Like Gene Sarazen's double eagle in 1935 at No. 15 or Jack Nicklaus's sixth green Jacket at age 46 in 1986, Tiger Woods' triumph in the 1997 Masters earned a place in history. Playing in only his third Masters, Woods became the tournament's youngest champion at the age of 21.
Tiger shot a four day total of 18 under par 270 while breaking the tournament record by one stroke. Woods' twelve stroke margin of victory was also a tournament record. This piece also includes a Masters ball marker.
