Bobby Jones isn't the only famous golfer who would have turned 100 this year.

Gene Sarazen, who helped put the Masters Tournament on the map with his famous double eagle in 1935, also would have reached the century mark.

Known as "The Squire," Sarazen was an honorary starter at the Masters from 1981-99. He died in May 1999 at age 97.

Jones and Sarazen were contemporaries; but Sarazen turned professional while Jones remained an amateur. Jones won 13 major titles, and Sarazen captured seven and became one of only five players to win all four major professional titles during his career.

Like Jones, Sarazen was more than a champion golfer. He is credited with inventing the sand wedge and was well-known for his role as host of Shell's Wonderful World of Golf.

And Sarazen always will be remembered for his shot on the 15th hole at Augusta National Golf Club.

Trailing leader Craig Wood by three shots with four holes to play, Sarazen holed his 4-wood for a double eagle and parred in to force a playoff. He defeated Wood the next day in the only 36-hole playoff in Masters history.

Jones, co-founder of Augusta National and the Masters, was among the few people to witness the "shot heard 'round the world." After completing his round, he walked down to the 15th hole and saw perhaps the most famous shot in golf history.

Although Sarazen never won a major championship after the 1935 Masters, he remained a competitor at Augusta National until 1973. He never forgot the importance of the shot, both for him and the Masters.

"If I hadn't won, it would have been a double eagle without feathers," he said in a 1995 interview.
