Champion

Arnold Palmer(-6)

Runner-up: Ken Venturi

Arnold Palmer staged one of the great final-round charges in Masters history, birdieing the final two holes to win by one shot over Ken Venturi. Palmer's two-birdie finish created the legend of the "Palmer charge." A 20-year-old amateur named Jack Nicklaus finished second amateur.
