Roberto DeVicenzo won 231 golf tournaments around the world, and that includes the 1967 British Open. But it was his signing of an incorrect scorecard after the 4th round of the 1968 Masters for which he is most remembered. That “little” gaffe cost DeVicenzo an opportunity to win a second straight major, and one of golf’s most cherished tournaments. Instead of squaring off against Bob Goalby in an 18-hole playoff for the Green Jacket, DeVicenzo could only say, “What a stupid I am.” Golf historian and former host of Golf Talk Live, Peter Kessler, is our special guest as we recall the events of that day, what happened, how it affected DeVicenzo, Goalby and the man who wrote down the wrong score, Tommie Aaron … and we also examine the forgotten career of Roberto DeVicenzo.
