Abstract

When Ralph Stonehouse and Johnny Kinder stood on the tee of what is now the 10th hole at Augusta National on Thursday, March 22, 1934, the most interested onlookers were likely perched upon nearby tree branches, chittering about spring. The heroics the press sought would arrive the following year, but not from Jones, who, astonishingly, was still touted by Rice (based on information from "a local bookie") as the favorite to win the 1935 Masters. Even today, of course, the Masters isn't the championship of anything - it's a private club's invitational tournament, which was clearly Jones' intention all along. 50.2% Yes 49.8% No Jones, who proved to be the ultimate host, congratulates Horton Smith, winner of the first Masters.
