AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - The Masters will say goodbye to another former champion this week when Tom Watson makes a final trek up the 18th fairway, but not before he marks the occasion by leaving one last egg salad sandwich by the 13th tee.

From the Green Jacket to the Champions Dinner, the Masters is rich in tradition but none is more touching than Watson's tribute to longtime caddie Bruce Edwards, who finally succumbed to Lou Gehrig's disease on the eve of the 2004 Masters.
