From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1937 Masters Tournament was contested from April 1 to April 4 at Augusta National Golf Club. It was the 4th Masters Tournament. Byron Nelson made up six strokes on Ralph Guldahl over two holes on the final day to win by two strokes. Compared to Guldahl's 5-6, Nelson played the 12th and 13th holes 2-3 respectively. The Nelson Bridge at the 13th hole was dedicated in 1958 to commemorate that feat.
