Torchy Toda 1936 Masters Tournament Tee Shot Press Photo
When Hideki Matsuyama won the 2022 Masters Tournament he also represented the country of Japan, a country with a rich history dating back to their very first contestants in only the third Masters of 1936. 'Torchy' Toda, who was along with Chick Chin, is captured just prior to Masters Tournament play getting underway in 1936. Chairman Clifford Roberts extended two special foreign invitations to the tournament, Japanese ambassador to the US Hiroshi Saito even went to support them that week. Preparing for the tournament perhaps both mentally and physically, Toda is depicted in this photo at Augusta National Golf Club teeing off on hole 1 during the first round as the verso caption states. 6" x 8"
