1984: Ben Crenshaw earns first Masters title
Ben Crenshaw will always be remembered for being one of the greatest putters in golf history, but not even "Gentle Ben" would have predicted he would make a 60-foot birdie putt on the 10th hole in the final round in 1984.
That unexpected birdie completed three in a row, and Crenshaw held on to win his first Masters by two shots.
