Phil Harison, who introduced everyone from Ben Hogan to
Jack Nicklaus to Tiger Woods during his 60 years as the starter on the first tee of the Masters, has died. He was 82.
He died Sunday of natural causes, according to the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.
Harison was one of two people to attend every Masters since it began in 1934 and was a familiar voice to fans who grew used to his drawl and manner of announcing each player.
