Video: Elder remembers Sifford, Casper

Thumbnail

Lee Elder, the first African-American to play in the Masters, went on MSNBC Monday to share his memories of playing on the PGA Tour with Charlie Sifford and Billy Casper. Both men passed away last week.

Elder shares several harrowing stories about what life was like for he, Sifford and other African-American players trying to make it on the tour in the 1960s. He also fondly remembers Casper, who has his Ryder Cup captain in 1979 at the Greenbrier.
