Of all the Masters I have watched, this one was one of the best I've seen. To see the emotion that Crenshaw displayed on the 18th green is a vision that has remained with me for years and years. He was destined to win this tournament and I do believe that Harvey Penick was indeed the 15th club in Crenshaws bag.
Other than my mom taking me to a North Carolina driving range in 1981 at age 17, I had no clue about golf in 1995. I happened to turn on the Masters on Sunday and thought, ‘wow, this is a beautiful setting and holy cow-this guy Crenshaw really can putt!’. Along comes TW in 1997 and I played golf for the 1st time in 2000. I’ve been a golf addict ever since. All thanks to Ben Crenshaw.
@@remaster1981Golf Digest did an article on the matter in August 2021 right after he passed away. Just type in “Ben Wright golf announcer, and that golf digest article should be one of the first results on google👍🏻
Amazing seeing Tiger at the very beginning of his incredible career being interviewed in the Butler cabin; the future ahead was bright!. And of course, i remember watching this live and crying a few tears after Gentle Ben accomplished this legendary moment in his life. The Masters is the best sporting event in the world.
And little did we know that skinny 19 year old amateur from Southern California would go on to have the most dominating performance in the Masters only two years later.
0:24 Walter Cronkite in Butler Cabin taking about the history The Masters with the Jurassic Park theme playing? I absolutely cannot believe this is even real! It might be the cheesiest and most awesome example of pure Americana I’ve ever seen!
I’d stop short of calling something from a dinosaur movie “Americana” - too many ‘the world is 3,000 years old’ fundamentalists standing on the neck of that one.
I can't believe this was 28 years ago. I was driving around America at the time and I watched the final round in a motel room! I think this is one of the most emotional wins I've ever watched. It was wonderful to see Ben win having just lost his friend/coach/mentor Penick.
Great upload, and thank you. A lot of people were said to be great putters of the golf ball, but Ben Crenshaw was TRULY a great putter. He also was Minus four under on the par 3s, which had to make up 3 or 4 shots on almost the entire field.
Agree 100%! A funny story you'll enjoy: I was at a PGA event in 1990 a couple of weeks after Crenshaw beat Nick Price at the Colonial. I had the chance to chat with Price at the driving range and asked him about Crenshaw's putting. I'll never forget what he said, which was that there are many players on the PGA tour who make lots of putts, but nobody like Crenshaw. He said that Ben is different in that he rolls the ball into the center of the cup at the perfect speed. He said he hit the ball so much better than Crenshaw that week it was ridiculous, but Ben kept rolling in putt after putt and finally put him away.
@@chocolatetownforever7537 My pleasure! The putt Ben made at 17 to put the tournament away was a perfect example: lightning fast with a big break and he just poured it in.
This was an underrated Masters. What a performance by Ben Crenshaw especially on 16 and 17. I was so happy for him to win it after losing his friend and mentor.
In that final shot of Crenshaw @2:43:35 the guy in the white shirt looking like Magnum P.I. is a former co-worker of mine in Detroit. He showed up in every highlight reel for years. Every year the same thing: there's Bob!
Brilliant stuff, didn't realise how close it was .....my mates took me out for my 18th and they all fell asleep and I managed to watch it from Crenshaws 2nd cracking shot into 14. Boy, 1995 was an unbelievable year for me and golf!
This was the first Masters where Jim Nantz was the main announcer on the 18th hole, the first Masters in which Gary McCord was banned from commentating the Masters, and the last of 23 Masters on the mic for Ben Wright
@@remaster1981 Gary was banned for saying the greens look like they’ve been bikini waxed they’re that smooth and the fairways were actually quite hilly almost as if there were body bags underneath the ground. The masters brass were not too fond of his risqué comments and he was subsequently permanently banned.
Ben Crenshaw was never a long ball striker, but he more than made up for that with perhaps the best short game and putting stroke of any golfer in history.
Poor Greg Norman - this is a completely overlooked Masters in terms of how close he was AGAIN. What he would have given to shoot 68 (heck even 72) only 12 months later. I still can't believe he never won this tournament.
Fred Couples should have a different green jacket for at least every day of a holiday weekend. He finished in the top 5 at Augusta several times including his win in '92. His 1 major win overall is baffling considering his tremendous talent and 26 top 10 finishes throughout his career at the 4 premiere events.
Way too low for Fred and Norman considering how many times they were there on Sunday. Ray Floyd as well, and was tied for 16th in 95 at the age of 53. Greg should have had ten majors if he was a lil more clutch.
I’ve been formulating the same thoughts for some years now about Fowler. Talented, common top 10 finisher, but yet to string it together at a Major and raise a trophy.
@@wreckim One is a down-to-earth, easy going guy who appreciates those fans and their loyalty.

@@jfromparis5788 Well not long after this tournament the 🐐 began his first insane tear. He could beat anyone on tour, who knows how successful Henninger would've been without Tiger
These guys were absolutely wrecking this course off the tee this year. I can’t believe the approach shots Freddie, Norm and DL3 had into 9, 11, 15 and others
Can you imagine? I suppose the golf course is extra well taken care of during the Masters, but ive never even seen a leaf on the ground at this golf course lol. Those who are members, and get to play it, are some of the luckiest people on earth. Id give a year off my life just to play the back nine.
At 6:51 player touches ball but ball doesn't move out of position. In 2016 Dustin Johnson addresses ball in U.S. open and ball wobbles but doesn't seem to move out of its spor. Dj is penalized even though it seem pretty clear he didn't even touch the ball.
whetedge yep but we no longer see him because CBS got rid of that famous camera shot in 2002. Red shirt guy might have had to move too because the new camera is behind the tee.
Interesting commentary at 33:06 ... I wonder what that means. All the greens have been moved, or merely replaced? If a green has been replaced but not moved, none of the original bunkering remains? Perhaps there was little bunkering in the original layout? I guess I've got some Augusta National reading to do :-).
Originally the bunkering was ornate and decorative, such as the MacKenzie Bunker. This was changed mostly aside from this bunker, although some other decorative relics remain such as the bunkers behind the 12th and 13th greens, although these now most have a normal shape. The MacKenzie bunker originally guarded the 10th green until the green was moved back behind the hollow, meaning that despite being basically taken out of play by that change, this bunker was the one wacky shaped one that survived. Many of the greens were also wacky shaped originally, you can see this in the remaining relatively strangely shaped greens like the 2nd, 3rd, 8th or 15th
Tiger Woods was a rare golfer in that he never went to Q-School. He got some sponsor exemptions after he turned pro and in one of those tournaments he won gaining a two year exemption. Phil Mickelson never went to Q-School as he did something Tiger didn’t do and that was a. A PGA Tour event as an amateur thus gaining his exemption when he turned pro. A third player from that era to not having to go to Q-School was Justin Leonard. He got his tour card by making the top 125 of the money list after he turned pro.
I want to start by saying I love golf and the Masters. However the song choice used to talk about the first Masters was very interesting to say the least. Something about seeing Arnold Palmer (Who I think at the time was in his late 50s) with the wonderous Jurrasic Park theme overlapping old footage was very jarring for me. Still love all of these final round broadcasts all the same though.

bless you and your Dad, that's a lovely memory.
Do you remember seeing Tiger Woods playing in that Masters? If so, did you have any idea that he would end up becoming "Tiger Woods"?

GENO the 2009 British Open felt like that all the way until the 72nd green
Fantastic play by Ben, at 43 , terrific tournament.
Also no one wore a ribbon on their hat to signal to the world they care; everyone just "knew" without the display.
Everyone is basically playing some great golf, this is an excellent final day
You need to get your vision checked.

Ben Crenshaw, one of the sweetest swings you'll ever see, and arguably best putter ever!
Love the fact that these tournies are all available to view again
Thank you Masters for posting these. Fantastic addition to the TH-cam library!
The last Masters called by Ben Wright. Still miss that quintessential voice for golf.

Actually, he could flat rip it in college, but dialed it back some as a pro to keep it in play.

2 years later.... a new era of golf
He was a amateur And couldn't Make money yet

he could have 5 or 6 without much different happening. He never complained not once. Can't believe the hate he gets these days.
His involvement with the Saudis is not helping in this department 🙄
It’s almost like he’s leaning into it at this point.
I always forget what a stacked leaderboard it was. Crenshaw really beat some hall of fame golfers that year

True. And what about Greg... At least Freddy got his jacket. With some better luck, Greg could've had a closet full. But, that's golf.
Freddie is so cool, that he gets nothing but Royal treatment from fans. Greg instead, gets reminded of his '96 collapse.

Really cool to see Tiger at the start of his career
Ben deserved two green jackets as he so could have won 3 more easily in 88 89 and 91. I thought he should have won 2 of those
1987 was the one that really got away from him.
Led (or joint-led) throughout the final day, until he bogeyed the 71st hole.
What happened to that low amateur Tiger Woods? I don't think he ever appeared in that Butler Cabin again.
Are you mad?
He’s won five green jackets!

2:38:00 “Well, we think you’ll be among the great in the future too.” Joe Ford was almost right - if he’d left off “among” …
