Argentine golf great Roberto De Vicenzo dies at 94


Jun 2, 2017, 9:41 AM

De Vicenzo is best remembered for his misfortune in the 1968 Masters Tournament. On the par-4 17th hole, Roberto De Vicenzo made a birdie, but playing partner Tommy Aaron inadvertently entered a 4 instead of 3 on the scorecard. He did not check the scorecard for the error before signing it, and according to the Rules of Golf the higher score had to stand and be counted. If not for this mistake, De Vicenzo would have tied for first place with Bob Goalby, and the two would have met in an 18-hole playoff the next day. His quote afterwards became legendary for its poignancy: "What a stupid I am!"

He was actually 93. Signed the wrong drivers license.

My dad and I were at Augusta that Sunday when he signed the wrong score. We left for home thinking we'd be listening to a radio broadcast of a playoff between De Vicenzo and Goalby on Monday.
