2015 Masters will be Ben Crenshaw's last
Two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw confirmed Saturday morning on the Golf Channel that 2015 will be his last Masters as a competitor.
Crenshaw, who won in 1984 and 1995, said he has made the decision to stop playing after one more year at Augusta National.
“Is it hard? Very hard,” Crenshaw said on Live From the Masters. “But I have been so fortunate. I have to look at the good things that have happened. I have to pull over and watch. I’m very resigned to being an encourager for everybody as much as I can.”
This year was Crenshaw’s 43rd Masters. He has 11 top-10 finishes in his Augusta National career.
“I’m very, very happy with it,” he said. “I’ve thought about it for a long time. A lot of times I thought that I could have stepped down earlier.”
