Due to time constraints with local news/primetime programming, the green jacket ceremony happened before all the players had finished their final rounds, as Stadler and Floyd, the final two golfers on the course, were deemed mathematically too far behind winner Ballesteros for their results to change the outcome of who would win the tournament. Since 1982 champion Stadler was still on the course during the ceremony, Augusta National chairman Hord Hardin placed the green jacket on Ballesteros. It was the final major championship for Sam Snead, 70, a three-time Masters champion. He withdrew after a first round 79 as he assessed he could not make the cut.
