However,  The Masters was his last PGA Tour win then after which he continued playing and earned five more victories on the Senior Tour.

On the other hand, the 1973 Masters championship went to Tommy Aaron. Besides this particular victory, he also won another PGA Tour title last 1970 during the Atlanta Classic. Meanwhile, he also proved his skills in the golf course by being a runner-up in the 1972 PGA. He was named to two US Ryder Cup teams and finished in the Top 10 at The Masters for five times.
