From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1986 Masters Tournament was the 50th Masters Tournament, and was the first golfing major of 1986. Jack Nicklaus won his record 18th professional major with a historic victory in which he shot 65 during the final round for a final tally of 279 (-9). His win made him the oldest winner of the Masters, and the second oldest winner of any major championship behind only Julius Boros who was 48 when he captured the 1968 PGA Championship. The win also gave him a record 6 Masters victories. His first was in 1963 and his first major win was the 1962 U.S. Open Golf Championship. The 23 years between Masters victories and 24 years between major victories are also records. The runner-up, along with Tom Kite, was Greg Norman, whose near-misses at the Masters are also noteworthy. Nicklaus won $144,000 for his first place finish.
