How this was built
What is included: every Masters from 1934 to 2026, newest first: the champion, the score, the margin and the runner-up, the rounds, the picture after 54 holes, any playoff, the two moments the room tells for that year, course changes and the low amateur.
Where it comes from: the GNN Masters data set, 1934–2026, as of October 13, 2026, the source this room names. The data set does not list sources year by year.
What is not claimed: the closing nine is not recorded separately in the data, so it is described only where the room's own moments describe it. Nothing here goes beyond the data set.
