Tournament dates: April 1-4, 1937

Notable Notes: You probably know that there is a bridge at Augusta National dedicated to Byron Nelson, the Nelson Bridge on the 13th hole. It carries Nelson's name because of what happened at the 1937 Masters. Nelson trailed Ralph Guldahl going to the 12th hole, but outplayed Guldahl by five strokes on Nos. 12 and 13, turning the tournament around.
