Jimmy Demaret won the first of his three Masters titles, four strokes ahead of runner-up Lloyd Mangrum,[1][2] the largest margin of victory until 1948. The purse was $5,000 and the winner's share was $1,500.
Mangrum shot an opening round 64 (−8), a new course record by two strokes,[3][4][5][6] and it stood for 46 years, until Nick Price's 63 in 1986,[7] later equaled by Greg Norman in 1996. Although all three of these players won major titles, none won a Masters.
