Arnold Palmer won the first of his four Masters titles, one stroke ahead of runners-up Doug Ford and Fred Hawkins. It was the first of his seven major titles. Recap Arnold Palmer, age28, was the third round co-leader and eagled the 13thhole on Sunday to propel him to victory, as he three-putted on the final green.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=2MVaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=32sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7534%2C855042 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Arnie Palmer wins Masters by one stroke Gendelfinger Phil April 7, 1958 22 Three-time champion Sam Snead, age 45, was the other co-leader after 54 holes,http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1958/04/06/page/33/article/snead-palmer-lead-masters-with-211 Chicago Sunday Tribune Bartlett Charles Snead, Palmer lead Masters with 211 April 6, 1958 1, part 2 but shot a 79(+7) on Sunday to fall to 13thplace.http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1958/04/07/page/49/article/official-ruling-gives-palmer-masters Chicago Daily Tribune Bartlett Charles Official ruling gives Palmer Masters April 7, 1958 1, part 4 One stroke back entering the final round was 1955 champion Cary Middlecoff, who carded a 75 in the final round and tied for 6th. Palmer's first Masters victory was not without some controversy. On the 12thhole of the final round, Palmer thought his tee ball was embedded behind the green but the on-site rules official would not give him relief. Playing that ball as it lay, Palmer made a double-bogey. Upset over the questionable ruling and the double-bogey, Palmer then played a second ball from behind the green and, after taking relief, made a par. Several holes later word came from the tournament officials that Palmer was entitled to relief and his par score on 12 would stand.https://www.espn.com/golf/masters08/columns/story?id=3321633&columnist=harig_bob 50 years later, Palmer's first Masters win still remains controversial ESPN Bob Harig April 5, 2008 2016-05-06 Palmer's caddy was Nathaniel "Iron Man" Avery. Prior to the tournament, two stone arch bridges crossing Rae's Creek were dedicated, honoring two-time champions Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. Hogan's is at the par-3 12thhole, and commemorated his record 72-hole score in 1953, his second win at Augusta and first of three consecutive majors that year. The other bridge departs the 13thtee; Nelson went birdie-eagle at these two holes in the final round in 1937, gained six strokes on the leader, and won the first of his five majors.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UXsoAAAAIBAJ&sjid=GsoEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3966%2C344129 Daytona Beach Morning Journal Florida Associated Press Augusta club honors Nelson and Hogan April 3, 1958 8 Sports Illustrated writer Herbert Warren Wind first used the term "Amen Corner" in a story to describe where the critical final day's action had occurred.https://www.si.com/vault/1958/04/21/577676/the-fateful-corner Sports Illustrated Wind Herbert Warren Herbert Warren Wind The fateful corner April 21, 1958 48 December 11, 2017 April 4, 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20170404081022/https://www.si.com/vault/1958/04/21/577676/the-fateful-corner dead This was the first major to have a five-figure winner's share; six figures arrived at the 1983 PGA Championship and seven at the 2001Masters. During the first day of the tournament, a man named AllenW. Perkins gained entry to Augusta National by asking golfer Cary Middlecoff to share a ride from the hotel where they both were staying. As club staff assumed he was a player, Perkins proceeded to help himself to a spot in the locker room, practice on the putting green, and begin golfing on hole1, Tea Olive. Perkins was forced by security to buy a ticket and remove his belongings from the clubhouse.Masters' Officials Are April-Fooled By a Wag Hitched to Some Golf Stars https://www.nytimes.com/1958/04/02/archives/masters-officials-are-aprilfooled-by-a-wag-hitched-to-some-golf.html The New York Times Associated Press April 2, 1958 Field 1.
