	Profile for Gene SARAZEN
		Going into the 1922 season, 20-year-old Gene Sarazen (christened Eugenio Saraceni, the son of a New York Italian carpenter) was the archetypal 'unknown'.
		Sarazen took a third PGA the next year, and would surely have retained his Open crown had he not taken triple-bogeys at the short 11th and the long 14th hole during that week at St Andrews.
		A vertiable pioneer of bunker play, Sarazen is familiar to modern day fans in his role as honorary starter of the Masters.

	The Squire's mystery club - mystery surrounding golf club Gene Sarazen used to make double eagle in 1935 Masters ...
		Nordwall passed all the tests and was there with his man in the 18th fairway on Sunday's final round when Sarazen, with no chance to win, nevertheless was angry at leaving a 210-yard, fairway-wood second shot right of the green on the 462-yard par-5 hole.
		Then, as the Sarazen double eagle became the stuff of myth and Nordwall recognized that he might own a piece of history, he went to the Minneapolis library searching for the old newspaper story.

		Trailing long-hitter Craig Wood by three strokes with only four holes to play, Sarazen knew he had to play the last four holes in three under par to catch Wood, who was already in the clubhouse having finished his round earlier in the day.
		But Sarazen had some magic in his hands that day and he stroked the ball towards the green, where it bounced twice before disappearing, impossibly, into the cup.
		With one improbable shot, Sarazen shaved three shots from par, tied Wood for the lead, and catapulted himself towards a victory that would be earned in a playoff the next day.
