For subscribers: It’s not that we haven’t been well-represented at the Masters. Since the inaugural event, 1934, Tucson-connected golfers have been in the field 83 times across 88 years.
Greg Hansen In the public mind, golf in Tucson is a winter wonderland, cactus and snakes, sun and fun, a cold one on a warm day.
People are also reading… Based on their tournament participation, here’s a chronological review of the 18 other Tucson-connected golfers who followed Diegel and Ball to the Masters: Dan Pohl, 1982-89. Arizona recruited Pohl from Mount Pleasant, Michigan, after Pohl eschewed a chance to play minor-league baseball. Pohl came from six strokes back in 1982, tying Craig Stadler at the 18th hole, forcing a playoff. Unfortunately, Pohl missed a six-foot par put in sudden death and finished second.
Robert Gamez, 1990-91. The NCAA golfer of the year as an Arizona senior, 1989, Gamez missed the cut in his two Masters appearances. Jim Furyk, 1996-2017. No one from Tucson’s golf family comes close to Furyk’s 20 Masters appearances, which included No. 4 finishes in 1998 and 2003. In ’98, Furyk had his best chance to win a green jacket, finishing two strokes behind winner Mark O’Meara.
