The Masters

1971

Champion

Charles Coody(-7)

Runner-up: Jack Nicklaus

Charles Coody won the Masters by two shots over Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller. Coody had blown the lead in 1969 with a triple-bogey on the 16th in the final round, and his 1971 victory was a form of redemption. He played steady golf throughout the tournament.
