Hard To Double
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -A golfer
who wins the Masters Tournament
has to be euphoric for quite a while.
It can be hard to focus.
In the past 30 years only two
golfers have combined a victory in
the Masters with a triumph in the
next event on the PGA Tour.
In 1978 Gary Player doubled in
the Masters and Tournament of
Champions.
In 1985 Bernhard Langer scored
in the MCI Heritage Classic, one '
week after his Masters win.
