Woosnam plays his final Masters - for real this time

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Nearly three decades removed from his green-jacket triumph, Ian Woosnam revealed that this was his 31st and final Masters appearance.

The 61-year-old Welshman holed a memorable birdie putt on the 72nd hole back in 1991 to win his lone major. He has struggled at Augusta National in recent years, last making the cut in 2008, and he won’t be around for the weekend this time after rounds of 80-76.

Woosnam averaged 267 yards off the tee this week, and he revealed after the second round that he planned to return only as a non-competing past champion moving forward.
