If John Rae hadn’t been such a mover-and-shaker, Masters history would include many chapters on would-be champs whose dreams drowned in Kenyon’s Creek.
Huh?
Yes, Kenyon’s Creek, a meandering 10-mile stream that once flowed gently across the undeveloped landscape and eventually into the Augusta Canal, which (then and now) fed into the Savannah River. It now feeds into Lake Olmstead, thanks to a late-1800s dam project.
