The 1951 Masters Tournament was the 15th Masters Tournament, held April 5–8 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Ben Hogan, age 38, won the first of his two Masters titles, two strokes ahead of runner-up Skee Riegel.[2][3][4] It was the fifth of his nine major titles.
After three rounds, Hogan was one stroke out of the lead, behind Riegel and Sam Snead, the 1949 champion.[5][6] Hogan shot a bogey-free final round of 68 (−4), while Riegel carded a 71 and Snead an 80 (+8). Prior to this victory, Hogan had eight top ten finishes at the Masters, twice as runner-up in 1942 and 1946.
The reigning U.S. Open champion, Hogan also won the year's next major, the 1951 U.S. Open.
With high attendance of about 15,000 on Sunday, a fifty percent bonus for the prize money was declared, boosting the purse to $15,000 and the winner's share to $3,000.[1]
