A 93-year-old woman who lived less than a mile from Augusta National Golf Club refused to sell her property to the club until her dying breath, rebuffing years of expansion efforts by the golf club that hosts the celebrated Masters Tournament.
Elizabeth Thacker lived in a three-bedroom, single-story house on a 0.67-acre lot that was built in 1956, according to property records. It’s a normal-looking home in a far-from-normal location: just outside the north gate of the Augusta National Golf Club.
