“Blazing Ben” Hogan won nine majors, including two Masters, but he should have added another at Augusta. On the 72nd hole of the ’46 Masters, leader Hermen Keiser, up by a stroke at the green, three-putted. That meant a birdie would have given Hogan the win, while a par would have forced a playoff.
