1968 Masters Tournament Badge #21565 - Bob Goalby Winner
It took a late push by Goalby on Sunday. Bob Goalby birdied the 13th and 14th and eagled the 15th to record a final round of 66. At first it appeared that he and Roberto DeVicenzo would play in a playoff, but DeVicenzo returned an incorrect scorecard showing a 4 on the 17th instead of a birdie 3. The 1968 Masters Tournament was contested from April 11 to April 14 at Augusta National Golf Club. It was the 32nd Masters Tournament. Tommy Aaron incorrectly marked the 4 and DeVicenzo failed to catch the mistake and signed the scorecard. PGA of America rules stated that the higher written score signed by a golfer on his card must stand. As such, the error gave Goalby the championship.
