The Masters

1951

Champion

Ben Hogan(-2)

Runner-up: Skee Riegel

Ben Hogan won his first Masters title just two years after his near-fatal automobile accident. Hogan's meticulous ball-striking was perfectly suited to Augusta National. He shot a final-round 68 to win by two shots over amateur Skee Riegel.
