1968 Masters Tournament Final Round Broadcast

Wow! Roberto took it like a man, and with class. How could you not feel bad and yet proud of the way he handled himself at the same time.

The 1986 Masters is my favorite one to watch of all time. These old Masters are so awesome to get to watch. Anything is better than today's sports.

Sadly Mr Goalby passed away on 19th January 2022. Wonderful golfer and gentleman by all accounts.

I was 5 years old when this occurred and have been playing golf for 40 years this year. I’ve always read about this but have never watched it before. I can only feel that what a terrible tragedy this entire occurrence was and Mr. DeVincenzo handled so very well. What a class act he was from one of the all time great players. I had always thought that if I was one of the later presidents of the Augusta National Golf Club that I would get on a plane and fly to Roberto’s home and present him with a green jacket and bestow upon him all of the honors befitting a Masters Champion. Of course, it’s too late now because Mr. DeVincenzo is no longer living. I can’t help but think that the way he handled himself in this most unfortunate of circumstances would be a beacon of light for not only golf, but for any arena of life. Rest In Peace, Mr. DeVincenzo and because of this incident and seeing how you handled it makes me a fan of yours and gives me cause to look closer at your career and your accomplishments in the great game of golf.

The camerawork & sound in this is amazing. Well ahead of it’s time.

Wonderful! I was born in 1968, so I get to watch every Masters in every year I was alive!

13:57-14:25 Bob Goalby’s best shot ever hit in my opinion! What an Eagle! Love watching him play in black and white! Amazing golf from the 1968 masters!

Those scale models of each hole are really cool, I wonder if they still exist.

I love virtually every aspect of tournament golf. That said, as difficult as it was to see this gut-wrenching situation, and as badly as I felt for Roberto, one of the great things I love about golf is that the golfer is completely responsible for his scorecard. Nobody else can make him sign it correctly or incorrectly. Golf is a thinking man's game and being responsible for the card is part of that mental aspect. Personally, I would have it no other way, even as gut wrenching as this was. Believe me when I say there have been thousands of cases like this one in tournaments all over the world before and after this occasion. De Vincenzo and Goalby handled this like the two great ambassadors of golf that they were.

There was so much drama in this telecast. Even though it's 2020 I was hooked watching this like it was must see tv :)

Wonderful history here. Do you have any plans to post 1967 and earlier? Perhaps working with CBS you could add more? It would be nice to see the complete final round from 1960 that they colorized several years ago! Great job here, hats off to Augusta and the Masters!

Thank you so much for sharing this and other amazing footages!

So interesting. Poor Roberto, he was robbed but he was incredibly gracious about it. "What a stupid I am." After this disaster, they set up a tent that enabled the golfer to go over his scorecard without being bothered by press and gallery. Seeing how the course looked in '68 compared to today; wow is all I can say.

Speechless. Can't believe the scorecard drama. What an awful way to lose and win the masters.

How cool is the sand table model they use for the analysis, stick your shot tracer

Love these old reels-this was when I was 5 years old-so catching up!

One of the sports events I've always watched to watch, and how CBS handled the whole scorecard controversy. Many thanks.

Amazing how well Player has aged. Doesn’t look a whole lot different 52 years later!!

This was so distressing to watch; felt so bad for him, like everyone else. I think i'm going to move ahead to watch the 1968 highlights of the Open, a few moths later, and Lee Trevino on utube.

Wow this is amazing. I'm going to watch all of these from the beginning.
