Bar none, Dan Jenkins is the best writer on golf of our time. In this Golf Digest article, Mr. Jenkins relates his story about the 1954 Masters in which the legends Sam Snead and Ben Hogan dualed in an 18 hole Monday playoff. The entire article is a must read, and the mercurial Mr. Jenkins introduces us to the subject as follows:

When you’re a fledgling youth-type adult, it appears that all people in their 40s look old enough to be in a painting hanging on the wall of a stately home in England. It’s not until you limp into your 70s that people in their 40s look too young to vote, and college cheerleaders closely resemble Yorkshire terriers.
I point this out to explain why I wrote what I did 50 years ago when I was a fledgling youth-type adult sportswriter for a Fort Worth newspaper covering the Masters in Augusta.
This is the 50-year anniversary of that particular Masters. The 1954 Sam Snead-Ben Hogan Playoff Masters. What I wrote so astutely was that this was undoubtedly the last time we would see these two wonderful immortals go head-to-head for a major championship, seeing as how they were so ancient. They were nearing 42, after all.
