THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 9, 1951

* Ben Hogan wins Masters Tournament
* Augusta National Golf Club - Georgia


The sport's section (page 32) has a banner headline: "Hogan Captures Masters Golf for First Time, Beating Reigel by 2 Strokes" with subheads, photo and scores. First report coverage on Ben Hogan winning the 1951 Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete with all 48 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions.  Minor spine wear, nice condition.
