The 1953 Masters Tournament was the 17th Masters Tournament, held April 9–12 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
Ben Hogan shattered the Masters scoring record by five strokes with a 274 (−14),[2] which stood for twelve years, until Jack Nicklaus' 271 in 1965. Hogan shot four rounds of 70 or better,[3] and went on to win the U.S. Open by six strokes in June and the British Open by four in July. Through 2022, it remains the only time these three majors were won in the same calendar year.
Hogan, age forty, led by four strokes after 54 holes and finished five ahead of runner-up Ed Oliver to win his second Masters, the seventh of his nine major titles. This win was commemorated five years later in 1958 with the dedication of the Hogan Bridge over Rae's Creek at the par-3 12th hole.[4]
Hogan was the first Masters winner over age forty; a few months older than Hogan, Sam Snead won the next year at 41.
