1965 Masters Badge - Jack Nicklaus' Second Masters Victory. The 1965 Masters Tournament was the 29th Masters Tournament, held April 8–11 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
Jack Nicklaus won the second of his six Masters titles with a score of 271 (-17), at the time a tournament record, three strokes better than Ben Hogan's 274 in 1953. It was equaled in 1976 by Raymond Floyd and surpassed in 1997 by Tiger Woods' 270 (-18). Nicklaus' winning margin of nine strokes also stood until 1997, when Woods was victorious by twelve strokes to win his first green jacket.
The "Big Three" (Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player) were tied after 36 holes at 138 (-6), but Nicklaus shot a 64 (-8) on Saturday to post a 202 (-14), a gain of five shots on Player and eight on Palmer. Nicklaus' round tied the course record set by Lloyd Mangrum in 1940.
