The 1935 Masters Tournament was contested from April 4 to April 8 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. It was the second Masters Tournament, then still known as the "Augusta National Invitation Tournament." In a change from the first year, the nines were switched to their present order, with the finishing hole at "Holly." In the fourth round, Gene Sarazen holed a double eagle (235 yards, 4 wood) to tie Craig Wood and force a 36-hole playoff.[3] This second shot at "Firethorn," the par-5 15th hole (then 485 yards (443 m)), is referred to in golf as the "shot heard 'round the world." Sarazen won the Monday playoff by five strokes, even-par 144 to 149 (+5), and parred the 15th hole in both rounds. Tournament co-founder and host Bobby Jones finished at 297, fifteen strokes back in a tie for 25th place. The purse was $5,000 and the winner's share was $1,500.[4][5]
