Without me checking the record books. For all this talk of it being an invite. Had anyone ever not been invited when they we're in a position thatvwoukd usually see them qualify?

On the flip if poulter didn’t make it what’s the odds of a cheeky invite to say sorry you been dicked about past 2 years by moronic officials
I'm sure there may have been an African American player back in the late 50's 60's who wasn't allowed to play...fortunately all in the past
I think Sifford was the player that they changed the rules so that he couldn’t ever play - removed the “invite†to the Canadian Open Winner ( when he was leadin ) - he knew that he would never get an invite to play there
Things happen, all in the past no point talking about it 50 years later as it's not going to change anything. It's done and that's it
Appears 67/69 he should have qualified.
Don't want to go too far off in a tangent as during that era I'm sure plenty of injustice occurred. For me, it doesn't make the masters less of a major. It does stink that it ever occurred.
Exactly . How many talented players never took up the game due to class and ethnic background etc.
It’s in the past now. Can’t change that
It’s just another reason why it shouldn’t be a major for me - that sort of attitude will be there at the club - things like the boiler suits , calling spectators “patrons†, it’s all just things that outside golfers people would point to as reasons for golf being all about snobbery
Poults should have got that birdie - still leading but needs a lot of grit to keep ahead at the moment
The open tho will be rife with this aswell tho.. how many ethic players will have been refused in Golf clubs who could have been at the open.. golf itself was rotten.Neither can you bang on about their great history without looking at all of it, good and bad. No, you can't change the past but you can learn from it.
