The year is … 1989 and Augusta National is soaked. It has been raining for days.

The field is wearing sweaters because it’s a chilly 61 degrees at The National. Later today we’ll see players’ breath as they exhale. If only that was the weirdest thing about the 1989 Masters.

1. Seve is denied

Sunday of Masters week is Seve Ballesteros’ 32nd birthday. He blisters the front nine in 31. He’s the No. 1 player in the world and clearly the favorite to sweep through Augusta’s back nine and win his third green jacket. A man atop the golf world, completely in control, until Ken Green says no.

At the 30:30 mark of the final round broadcast, Seve is looking for relief from mud — ANGC had a local rule of “unusal damage” — left of the 10th fairway. The first rules official is about to give Seve exactly what he wants, a better lie, until Green trots over from the fairway and takes issue with it. Green had a similar situation on the 2nd hole and takes major issue with Ballesteros. He’s protecting the field! Well, Seve in all his swindling magic asks for a second ruling, doesn’t get it and has to lay up. He would bogey the 10th hole and make zero birdies until the 18th, when it no longer mattered. Here’s to you, Ken Green!

2. The graphics package is straight out of Pac Man

As pointed out in our podcast by senior writer Alan Shipnuck, there is little added to the broadcast by the graphics used on screen. Very often the yardages were rounded to an approximate distance, like in the photo below, where 10s and 5s are used almost ubiquitously. If you didn’t see Greg Norman in the upper corner, you’d think you were in the middle of a golf video game.

3. “Hoch rhymes with choke”

It was a brutal parenthetical by Sports Illustrated in its recap of the 1989 Masters, but it was absolutely true. Scott Hoch has something he likely dreamed of his entire life: a 3-footer to win the Masters. It’s hard to be sure, but the putt may have even been less than three feet. “24 inches from a green coat,” Ken Venturi said at the time.

Faldo had made his five, for bogey. Hoch sizes up the winning putt from every angle.

….

It doesn’t even touch the cup.

Tom Pernice Jr. made a hole-in-one and teammate Scott Hoch became the oldest winner in Tour history when they teamed up to win the PGA Tour Champions’ Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf on Sunday in Ridgedale, Mo.

Mike Fetchick held the previous record. He won the 1985 Hilton Head Seniors Invitational on his 63rd birthday.

“It’s a team event,” said Hoch, 63. “It’s great that I won, but I don’t think you can compare that to an individual win. I mean, the individual winner.”

Pernice and Hoch finished 23 under overall, five strokes ahead of the teams of Vijay Singh and Carlos Franco and Paul Broadhurst and Kirk Triplett. They capped their victory on Sunday by playing the par-3 course at Big Cedar Lodge twice and signing for eight under. The format was alternate shot for the first nine and best-ball for the second.
