AUGUSTA, Ga. – No tournament reveres its past champions like the Masters.
On the same day two-time Masters champ Tom Watson said goodbye to competitive golf at Augusta National, 57-year-old Larry Mize and 58-year-old Bernhard Langer both qualified for the weekend.
Mize, the 1987 Masters champion, shot 76-73 to make the cut for the second time in the last three years. Langer, the champion in 1985 and 1993, is tied for 14th place at 1 over par. It’s the third time in the last four years Langer made the cut. He tied for fourth place here two years ago.
