A final-round 69 gave Woods a then tournament record 270 (−18), bettering the previous record of 271 set by Jack Nicklaus in 1965 and matched by Raymond Floyd in 1976. In the second and third rounds, Woods scored the best rounds of each day (66-65) to open up a commanding nine-shot lead. Making four birdies and an eagle gave him a 6-under-par 30 on the back nine for a 70, three shots behind first-round leader John Huston. Woods struggled on his first nine holes of the first round, turning at 4-over-par 40. Woods also became both the youngest (21) and the first non- white player to win at Augusta. The four-day score of 270 (−18) was also a tournament record until 2020 when it was beaten by Dustin Johnson. The margin of victory is, as of 2023, still the largest in the tournament's history. Tiger Woods won his first major championship, twelve strokes ahead of runner-up Tom Kite. The 1997 Masters Tournament was the 61st Masters Tournament, held April 10–13 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
