Jack Carries Banner for Ohio

When it comes to producing Masters champs, the Buckeye State rounds out the top three with seven victories (six by we know who) and an average to par score of 7-under-par. Only Texas with 14 winners (9.6-under-par) and California with 11 winners (11-under-par) rank higher.

Arguably the greatest golfer ever, Ohio State graduate and Columbus native Jack Nicklaus, captured six Green Jackets (the most ever) in 1963, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1975 and of course, 1986, where he became the oldest winner of The Masters at the age of 46 and 82 days.

Middletown native Gay Brewer was the only other Ohio champion, winning the 31st edition and only major title of his career at the 1967 Masters. He shot an 8-under par 280, highlighted by a final round 67 to win by one stroke over Bobby Nichols. His first-place prize money: $20,000.
