However, the two in the game has a different view than that, Roberts's advocates call it The Masters; Jones believes that it is too blunt, and so we call it Augusta National Invitational Tournament. Is thus, Masters Jones the first five names are mentioned in the name, has been to Jones before 1939 no longer insist that the name was officially changed to the current game The Masters? Perhaps you might ask how it is not called the Masters. Masters has long been our country's call, but it really is more in line with its exclusive status.
As Jones was the first master and he was modest and because they take into accounts the identity of the owner, so he is inclined not to play the game with his favorite golf clubs. But in the end we are still persuaded to participate in 12 games, only to get the best in 1934, the first 13. Although US Masters has been held since the modification is in all ways, there still some models from the early decisions. Among them, four-day 18-hole stroke play, not have used the third day of play 36 holes; removal of qualifying; against the final adoption of three people; and refused to allow outside player and caddy people end up with.
