Otey Putter (1947 Masters, Jimmy Demaret)

This is the putter tied to Jimmy Demaret's 1947 Masters win, according to oteythree.com, which credits the Otey with a total score of 281, a two-stroke victory over Byron Nelson and Frank Stranahan. That result, if it stands as reported, would place this specific release at the center of one of the more consequential wins in the tournament's early history, and the club's identity in the record is built almost entirely around that single week.

Oteythree.com's take on the putter's legacy is straightforward: the publicity surrounding Demaret's win elevated the reputation of Crisman's putters. That's an outside assessment of what the win did for the maker, not a claim about the putter's construction or feel, and it's worth reading as one site's framing of the moment rather than a settled verdict.

Community sentiment on this release runs toward the putter being held in high regard, with its precision and feel said to be valued by professionals. That's opinion, and it sits alongside the tournament story rather than adding new detail to it, but the two threads point in the same direction: a putter whose standing rests on what it did in Demaret's hands at Augusta in 1947.
