Two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer of Germany became the oldest player to make the cut in tournament history at Augusta National on Friday. Langer beat the record held by Tommy Aaron who was also 63 but a month younger when he made the cut in 2000. “To be the oldest to make the cut, it’s certainly an achievement,” Langer said. It’s certainly not easy to do it.”Langer has competed in a Major against Gene Sarazan (born 1902) and Abel Galleges (born 2002), that’s opponents born 100 years apart! Sarazan figured in his last Major at the 1976 Open championships, Langer’s first!
