It's certainly no secret that The Masters<\/a> has a number of traditions, one of which is the winner donating a club used during their victory to Augusta National<\/a>. It's a tradition that began with the very first edition of The Masters in 1934 when champion Horton Smith gave up his putter. The following year, Gene Sarazen donated the ball he used to make his famous albatross at the 15th on the way to victory but after that, every champion donated a club to Augusta...all but one, that being 1992 champ and former No. 1 player in the world, Fred Couples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couples, who was actually a college teammate of the longtime voice of The Masters, Jim Nantz, was actually unaware that this tradition even existed up until recently and finally completed Augusta National's collection just a few days back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fred Couples was Jim Nantz's college roommate and teammate at the University of Houston<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
