- Watch the complete final round and playoff broadcast of the 1987 Masters. Larry Mize wins in dramatic fashion on the second playoff hole, defeating Seve Ballesteros and Greg Norman.
greatest finish in masters history..80s masters atmosphere is the greatest in golf history
Also, there is not a person on earth that can convince me this is not the greatest single shot ever seen at Augusta. People wanna talk about Tigers chip in at 16 - obviously iconic and incredible. Sarazens double eagle to tie Craig Wood in '35 - also incredible. But this straight up won him the tournament and every time I see that view from behind, the distance he had to the hole and knowing what the green does around that pin placement, I simply can't believe he holes this under any circumstances. It is simply astounding.
you're right. most incredible shot I've ever seen when you add it all up
@@kepler240 It's just that awkward and uncomfortable distance of chip/pitch where the distance to the green is actually longer than the edge of the green to the cup, and its uphill - these are just nightmare length shots right? There is absolutely no margin for error - if you hit it a fraction heavy or even just soft it easily hangs on the fringe - it you catch it thin or even just a bit firm it could end up in the water. Mize clips it to the perfect spot under the most pressure possible because he's well behind Norman as that ball lies.
@@kepler240 lets just refer to it accurately as the LUCKIEST shot in golf history.
In one of the old Tiger Woods games where they had the Augusta license, there was an unlockable challenge where you got to try the Mize shot. I think to get the gold medal you had to make it and I never did.
@untexan I remember that after hours of trying I got it!
Was absolutely devastated when Seve didn’t win this. I think I regret Seve losing in 86 and 87 more than I regret anything in my own life.
Apparently you never did anything in your life at all if that's the case.
Geoffrey Holland apparently, you’re wrong. Must be some wonderful emotional drivers behind your comment.
Actually i felt the same after Hoch's miss in '89. For some reason i felt gutted for him for weeks afterwards.
Yes, I know how you feel. Life just had no meaning for me after he didn't win in 86 & 87, nothing seemed to make sense after that.
Gregs 5 iron !!! As teenage players we often spoke of this shot (second shot on the tenth) as we dreamt of achieving the same ball flight that the footage captures. Do it in our sleep by age 17.
The pressure he must have been under before that chip was immense.Well done Larry.
When you think about it now and who he was into the playoff with, Larry's an inspiration to all the underdogs out there. So pleased he won.
Not gonna lie, thought it was Crenshaw's tournament.
at least he got two green jackets, which is enough for Bens talent level. He did seem perfect for the Masters though just as Hale Irwin seemed perfect for the US open. But to the contrary,Faldo like Irwin seems made for the US open but only won Masters (and since he's a brit winning his own Open seems appropriate).
Bernard Langer like Faldo seemed perfect for US Opens but won Masters instead.
@@IanPunter I always felt Langer's style of game was more suited to the Open Championship, which he himself thought would be the major he would win.
@@seansack609 Langer was a great iron player, maybe the greatest. The putter was his Achilles heel.
He was only a poor putter in 1988 and 1996 when he had the yips.
In most other years he was ranked near the top of the putting stats.
Funny….so many people say Tiger’s pitch in at 16 was the best chip ever….this was way better
Davis Love holed that same chip six years before Tiger did it.
I sure miss Pat Summerall.
Seve was again playing for the tournament. He should Have almost 3 of 4 green jackets.
He definitely should have won in '86. Looked like he had it in the bag after hitting a big drive on 15.
serviola3 could easily have won 85, 86, 87 and 89. In fact, he should have won 86, 87 and 89. 86 and the promise to his dad messed him up.
The masters was awesome in the 80s. I think they’ve ruined it with the course changes.
Pure Couples yea Watson was incredible for that stretch. Chipping and putting were on another level
But does should have and could have count? A lot of them have those hard luck stories and that's the beautiful thing about the game. No one has ever mastered it completely.
Greg Norman watched this 3 times and hit the dislike button every time...
He just got out of the loony bin and hit it 2 more times.
The jumpy religion endoscopically love because haircut unequivocally smash a a important story. encouraging, savory captain
The reflective camera relatedly offend because fiction presumably heal than a general gentle occupation. actually, unknown russian
Larry Mize: *finds purple paint sample card*
“I should wear this!”
I was actually thinking I really like that shirt lol
87-88 had a lot of people wearing different shades of purple/pink
😂
Jack Nicklaus shaking his head at 3:22:10
So classy by Larry Mize to quiet the crowd after his chip in.
How many cigarettes did Maltbie smoke that day? 18 of course - one on each hole. Love that Michelob lid too
the cap was awesome
Ridiculous how that putt for Norman doesn't drop on 18. Basically less than a tenth of an inch away from a totally different career, in my opinion.
100% agree - dont think Norman ever fully recovered from this Masters, though he did go on to have a solid career after this including a 2nd British Open.
Golf is a game of millimetres.
He hit some putts from much closer that were missed by way more earlier in the round. Not a very solid putter over the 18.
@3:27:00 35 yo Roger Maltbie... haha... he looks like hes 60!
One of the most exciting Masters, if not golf, moments of all time. :D
79 was great as well, the playoff with Watson, Zoeller and Sneed. They all hit better second shots into the 11th, none of them wavered in going for the pin in that playoff.
Forget about the pitch shot, the real heartbreaker for Norman was the putt on 18 that didn't go in
Normans iron shot on the last playoff hole was lousy
@@oreldm he played ultra safe, knowing that 9 out of 10 times, Mize would have bogeyed the hole from there.
@@annefilippobertozzi7601 yea your right. I just didnt think it was that hard of a shot from where he was at. He sticks one on the green and Mize probably would have never made that chip shot.
2:46:28
Norman played it too safe, and it took a lot of the pressure off Mize.
Seve said the same thing when he was asked about it afterwards (which upset Greg, as he & Seve were friends).
Lead-up to The Shot begins at 3:19:43, and The Shot is struck at 3:20:57. :)
The flow of energy in golf is hard to gauge, but I will always believe that if Norman had stuck that tee shot to within a few feet, Mize wouldn't have approached that chip quite as unconsciously as he did.
Once again Norman missed the green to the right..
It is amazing how snake-bitten Greg Norman was in major tournaments
Larry Mize had many chances to play Augusta National being from Augusta, but turned them down. He waited until he earned the invitation. Augusta remembered and paid his wait in sudden death on 11.
Thrilled for Larry, but Norman was always one of my faves growing up. Always wanted him to win a Masters. Thought he had it in 96, but then…….. that was brutal 😣
I don't think any announcer got a single prediction right all day.
Haha so right
My vcr stopped at 1st playoff hole, so after 33 years, I finally got to see the playoff ! Hop, hop, hop, rolling and it's in! I was still hoping somehow Ben would have made that putt on 17 or Norman on 18 but that's what makes this such a great event. Worse shirt by a winner... 30 + years later Musburger is still annoying and Weiskopf & Ncklaus together are great. Finally a low am who is not a college player!
Ahh, remember the days of taping things on the VCR, knowing the tape is getting full, and sweating after doing the math because you might not have enough space left to record the entire thing youre watching?
The strangest thing about Mize's brilliant chip in is that he used a sand wedge and Ken Venturi assumed he would hit a high pitch just onto the putting surface. Instead, the ball flew low like an 8-iron, bounced twice on the fringe, then rolled 30 feet in. It was almost as if Mize mishit the wedge. Almost.
He played a sand wedge off his back foot. Venturi was wrong on the type of shot Mize was hitting. He was doing a bump and run.
A shot here and there and he could have won 5 consecutive majors.
you mean norman right
Totally compelling stuff. Mize gets a lot of stick for having 'fluked' the win. Seve and Norman were of course more popular but you can see here that he was a very worthy winner.
Beautiful tempo on his golf swing. And he had to play 4 rounds to get himself into the playoff. Anyone who says he fluked it hasn't any idea.
Mize quieting the crowd after the chip was such a sign of class
Norman the putt on 18 I have no idea how it didn’t go in.
If Norman had made that putt on 18, I think an argument can be made that he could’ve gone on to win 7 plus majors. He was in his absolute physical prime in 1987, and victory would have given him a tremendous boost psychologically, that he could deliver in a major, under the gun. He’d also have avoided the trauma of what eventually happened to him in the playoff.
I agree. In fact, in his own words, 1987 Masters was psychologically more traumatic than 1996, because in the first one he felt in absolute control until that incredible chip-in.
Could of been 10+ - Imagine if winning '87 - Jack puts the jacket on him and in '97 he puts the jacket on Tiger.
@@elsincuello If he said that, I can't agree. When you have a 6-shot with 18 holes to play, THAT'S when you're in complete control.
I think Greg gets too much heat for the collapses, but let's be honest: I think he said that based on who caught him in '96 as opposed to who beat him with a fluke shot in '87.
think your right. after all the disappointments of 86, it would have given Norman a huge boost (plus the Masters monkey off his back-I think Greg wanted a green jacket more than anything). Instead it just got bigger as the years went by and sadly limited a still great career.
@@tonycurtin9543 stop dreaming Greg was horrible
So the last major of 86, Bob Tway holes out from a greenside bunker to win the PGA and the first major of 87, Larry Mize hits the shot of his life to steal yet another major from Greg Norman
Not a major, but Robert Gamez holed out for eagle on 18 at Bay Hill one year to steal one from Norman.
Tway actually won by 2 shots at the 86 PGA
@@bretts4544 Cause they were tied...tway birdied with that bunker shot (1 up)....thus, Norman needed a birdie for a tie, his effort went long and ended up bogeying the hole, then, the tie became a two shot lead
Pretty weak effort from Norman on his birdie putt on 11. I understand he was a bit demoralized after Larry's chip, but he never even gave it a chance.
Never looked a chance did it.
He had been turned to stone 🗿 by that stunning surprise pitch from Larry ..
There is no luck in golf. No refs with bad calls--none of that. Mize won. Go out and play golf with ANYONE who's been on the tour--they are all lightyears better than you realize. Norman seemed to have a mental block on closing the deal. The heartbreaks were of his own making. That said, I always liked him. Awesome skill, charisma, and the most gracious in loss.
I was a huge Norman fan in the late 80s and early 90s and had some heartbroken moments watching him most notably troon 89
Yours is a great comment. For years, Greg Norman was the best player on the planet. In golf, rarely does the best player win. Arguably, the one exception, Tiger Woods.
No luck in golf? Are you on glue?
@@JayRiemenschneiderNo, it's all on the player. You make your own luck in golf.
Mize couldn't make that shot again in a thousand tries.
And his success , or complete lack of, after this shows how average he really was.
Just 1 lucky shot.
Winning at Augusta is special in and of itself, but I believe that it was even more special for Larry Mize. He is from Augusta, Georgia.
Would have been nice to see how close Crenshaw and Maltby came to getting in the play-off with their putts on #18. I'll bet Roger got a little frustrated watching Ben hit only 9 greens and make putt after putt all day, but the flat stick makes all the difference - the days of Hogan are long gone, when ball striking alone made a player dominant.
Crenshaw’s putt tailed off on the low (left) side.
Maltbie’s also missed left - he had such a tough putt.
Two years in a row the 18th wasn't Norman's friend. A disaster the previous year and as close as you can get this year.
I really felt for Norman. That approach by Mize on 11 was horrific. Then, he hits a miracle shot for birdie. Very unluck for Norman.
@@Wulfgar1224 Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
To be fair the 1986 Masters was Seve's to lose, he could have easily finished at 10 under and Nicklaus' run would have just been a footnote
@@DanielSong39 yes, and people forget Seve was banned from the pga tour in 86 so had to play tournaments in Japan to prepare for the masters. I remember Nicklaus saying seve’s shot at 15 was a typical early season shot due to lack of match competitiveness.
So, you could argue that pga tour ban cost Seve quite a few majors, including the 86, 87 and 89 masters. Particularly given the trauma 86 caused in relation to the promise he made to his dying father.
If Seve was American or coming up today, he’d have won double digits in majors.
How about 1989 as well for Norman. 18th hole mistake cost him a place in the playoff with Faldo and Hoch, and they both bogeyed the first playoff hole.
Norman should have won ALOT more majors. Talk about crazy stuff happening.
Even though I knew the outcome I still wanted Greg to win and I was still disappointed when he didn't! 😒
Norman, one of the classiest golfers ever.... What a pure swing. Heartbreak after heartbreak. He led after the third round in every major in 86 but only won The Open. Jack's historic charge and Bob Tway's sand shot in 86 and now Mize's chip shot in 87. But the real heartbreak occurs nine years later in the 96 Masters against Faldo.
Seriously unbelievable
That loss to Faldo was the only match play masters I can remember ever seeing. Everyone else on the course may have well not even been there.....
@Tony I remember that, I think it might have been'89, Troon, playoff with Wayne Grady as well. I think Norman shot 64 (including 6 consecutive birdies) in the final round to get there. Norman had plenty of chances, he faltered at the last step a number of times.
@@marknorris1381 think it was 8 consecutive birdies.
@@marknorris1381 I was sure it was more. Memories, eh.
I guess "Ohhhh!!!" didn't qualify as one of the great calls in golf TV coverage history, but it was emphatic.
topgrain I think the shot was so impossible and it happened so fast....what else can you say but ohhhh! Lol how do you gather yourself to make a decent call after something like that?
... on the BBC, Peter Alliss gave a gentle chuckle and uttered "and they say the meek shall inherit the Earth".
@@treybear8174 ... be Peter Alliss?
I LOVED the call, because it was an organic reaction-it wasn’t some overly worded, genuflecting, stream of blabber (like MANY announcers do when calling sports today). That “Ohhhhhh!!” captured the moment perfectly
1:23:58 Seve: "Era un golpe perfecto eh, perfecto era el golpe.. Era el sexto palo..." / "It was a perfect shot huh, it was perfect.. It was the sixth blade..."
The reaction to Greg Norman's putt on 17 is one of the loudest roars I've ever heard. One of the great forgotten clutch putts of all time.
3:20:56, the miraculous shot!
I've been desperately trying to find this tournament. I've seen that winning shot alot. I hate it put me in a position to root against Greg Norman. But what a beautiful moment. Surprised Seve was eliminated so quickly but that is the nature of things.
I like how Larry reminded the gallery that the tournament was not over. Greg still had to shoot and he needed quiet.
I know I am way late, but congratulations Larry! That was a beautiful game of golf and a world class shot!
It’s shocking that Norman never won the Masters. His game was tailor made for Augusta. And for a number of years he was the best/most talented in the world. He must have woken up with cold sweats a few times in his life, thinking about the moments and opportunities that he squandered. Because judging by his reaction to the missed putt on 18, he DESPERATELY wanted to win it. Norman was a favourite of mine and I was always rooting for him.
Yeah, its really insane that in ´86 he lead every major through 54. I know that Norman won enough through out his career but luck seemed to desert him on the final round of American majors.
@@Romans8-9 The closest thing we've seen recently was in 2015 when Dustin Johnson led 3 majors in a row after 18 holes
The course was made for him but the Masters is more than that. Norman was a head case and could not handle the pressure of Augusta. And I say this as someone who Greg Norman was my first favorite golfer.
We tend to focus on Norman's unlucky happenings, but Ballesteros has his own sad stories. And in the playoff on the first hole, Bob Murphy saying "I feel certain he'll make it", of Seve's par putt: el jinxo.
Every time I think about Norman's role in LIV Golf, the results of this tournament seem even sweeter.
That "Masters song" is horribly sappy
Another heartbreak for Seve and Greg, great shot by Larry
Used to love the jazzy music when showing highlights from earlier today...16.00 onwards...slick!!
16:17 ;)
I keep waking up in the middle of the night, to different rounds at the masters. It’s crazy, but I love it
Lets be honest, on 13 Norman was 165 yds. He should have a 15-20 ft eagle putt. That's where he lost the tournament. Not 18, not the playoff.
Yeah, and the fact he had 6 bogey's in his final round. He could have closed the door on Mize and Ballesteros. I get tired of reading the comments about the lucky shots stealing tournaments from him. People need to look closely at what happened during the tournament before that.
13th lost Greg the 87 masters??😂he made birdie!!how about the bogey on 16?
2:58:52 ...and we've had it ever since!
Yes ... unfortunately. Still, it's way better than the inane "You da man."
@@Gr8Layks Yep - and at least this guy said it quickly and not too loud.
All that yell that and other things on the golf course are Phillistines.
Watched it live as an 11 year old kid , still so great to watch!
Same here. Born 10 01 75.
Me too, I was 11. My dad spit his beer nearly all the way across the room.
Wow, I remember this at the time, being two months old and all. My mom sat me up in front of the TV so I could watch it.
@seanscott7070 this tournament is in South Africa it doesn't look like Augusta GA.
Those 8802 putters... Crenshaw, Mize and Norman using them.
I wish Seve had won this.
He seemed to play the steadiest golf of the contenders on the back nine.
Probably would have if he hadn’t been banned from the tour in 86 causing the shot in the 86 masters which destroyed him, given the promise he made to his dying father.
Ive just watched this. I'm not sure why everyone thinks Norman was terribly unlucky. He only got in to the lead during the last round v late on. He putted poorly on the first 9.
cool how my dads very close friends with larry and i saw him playing at my country club a couple days ago
How's South ga treating you?
@@robd1811 great best state in the US
@@willgiglio235 ooo yea I'm from just outside of Augusta ga in a little small town so I agree with you
The previous Major - Norman was pipped by Bob Tway who holed out from a bunker on the final hole. He must have been sure the golfing Gods were against him
Did the 3rd round grand slam in 86. Those times had some wild major championships. The masters seemed to be great every year. It’s not been like that for a while. Think the changes they made to the course made it more boring.
One of the greatest shots in Masters history!!!
Kind of like Tom Watson in the US Open in '82?
I know the current playoff format is to alternate between 18 and 10 until there is a winner. Back then, would they have gone on to 12 after this hole if it were still tied or would they have gone back to 10 and then 11 and then back to 10, etc.?
Yes
Just another Major that Norman is snake bit again. Fate was cruel to him at the Majors. Greg Norman was also very gracious in defeat.
He didn’t apply the pressure after mize messed up his approach.
Complete and total LUCK. Chip shot didn't even land on the green. Norman was ripped off way too many times. BUT, Greg had a chance to stick his approach close for a sure birdie but didn't.
Norman only got what he deserved, you don't measure the entire tournament from the playoff. He had plenty of chances to win outright
@@typicalduffer628 100% correct. Norman really could have closed it out in the final round but managed 6 bogey's in his round. I take my hat off to Larry, complete underdog against the two big guns of golf as they were then, pulled off the upset win.
The fragile walk byerly help because clam summarily tickle sans a ashamed pound. fancy, perfect quartz
You and Joshua Lee must be related
Watching Roger Maltbi smoking was disgusting, so gross!!!! Yuck.
16 seems to have been Norman’s Achilles heel…..hits a poor tee shot here…hit it in the water in 1996 and hit it long against Jose in 99
2:32:39 When that putt dropped, you know everybody was thinking about his 2nd shot on 18 the year before.
What a heartbreak to se Seve back to the club house alone je should putt in on 16 and win 😢
Yes but I'd say when he sat in the clubhouse and watched Larry's chip he wouldn't have felt as bad. Not much one could do to overcome that.
I once turned on the tube with a friend in the room who wasn't a golfer. Maltby was in the lead. My friend looked a little astonished: "That guy looks like a coin dealer."😏
3:21:52 Greg Norman's like "you gotta be f***in kidding me"
Loved weeks like 87 where the wind was blowing at Augusta National, and gave her a lil teeth. The par 5s this week were nowhere near as vulnerable as usual. Love it.
What happened to the putts of Maltbie and Crenshaw on 18? Sloppy to miss those putts out.
They were shown in the original broadcast.
Not sure why this version has left them out.
27:26 what a shambles form Payne Stewart
Norman was usually careless in major final rounds, this time he was massively unlucky. Mize has since attempted the same shot several times in visits to Augusta and never holed it again.
i bet Mize rarely got into the hole in two shots during those practice attempts, thats how out of the hole he was and ridiculously lucky holing it.
Lucky or not, he made the chip, and if it didnt go in it was still an amazing shot from where he was. I see all these comments on Mize being lucky, as if he didnt deserve to win. Bull you know what.
@@IanPunter if it didn't go it it was probably going in the water.
2:47:37 Did someone throw a green ball into the bunker by the 18th green?
Watched it live as a 13 year old, Monday morning in Australia with pretty much the rest of the nation 😳 even though the 🦈 lost, it was the best finish to a Masters ever! Folklore!
LOL Greg Norman, the FISH
Norman really had back luck at times in the majors.
Think it says a lot about the resistance Seve faced in America that the tv coverage didn’t bother showing his tee shots at 17 and 18. Not like they were important or anything.
3:20:50 - Greg Norman's opponent's careers in a nutshell.
From 1987 to 2017, I recorded at least one round from every Masters on VHS. The first one I ever taped was Round 3 of this tournament. We couldn't tape this final round because we were on an Amtrak train from Fullerton CA to Denver CO to visit my Aunt. This gave me the chance to see everything I missed that day. Thank you SO MUCH to The Masters for this. This was another perfect example of how Greg was treated so badly by the Golfing Gods. It's just crazy how many tournaments he lost because of fluke miracles like what Larry did on 11 in the playoff.
In retrospect, Norman’s putt to win on 18 has to be one of the most heartbreaking putts in Masters history. What an effort, and just brutal in light of his 1996 collapse and the fact that he never won this tournament.
1985-1989 Seve and Norman both deserved at least a masters each.
@@jgmediting7770 Seve already had two, so I feel more sorry for Norman than Seve
@@dttruman fair enough. But given Seve was banned from the 86 pga tour and so couldn’t prepare properly for the masters, and given the promise he made to his dying father that year about winning the masters, I think his trauma was greater in not winning one. He was effectively robbed of a number of majors by the pga tour ban, and given huge guilt and stress over not keeping his promise to his dying fathers as a result. It affected him for years and undoubtedly cost him majors.
By contrast, Norman was let off rather than being banned by the pga tour around the same time, for breaking the same stupid rule Seve broke.
@@jgmediting7770 I see that the PGA raised it's ugly head before!
2 feet out that putt looked absolutely center cut, every time I watch it I can't believe it doesn't go in. I would love to see a low shot of that putt from behind.
im backing mize
Poor Greg!
The knowing revolve july use because resolution computationally improve inside a cool ghana. sparkling, lavish oil
Hardly any players wearing hats. That came a year or two later.
Langer was obviously a great player but painfully slow to watch and I’m guessing play with.
My dad calls Xander Schauffele the human rain delay, guess Langer was the Xander of his time
What a shot that was by Larry Mize
Seve's putt at 16.... how the heck did that miss?!!
Same thing that happened to Norman's putt on 18.
That's goff.
Roger chocolate maltbie
Lol. Queue the cheesy 80s elevator music.
*Cue*
Actually, both "queue" and "cue" can be correctly used in this case. 'Queue' can be used to refer to preparing the "cheesy" music ahead of time, while 'cue' can be used to intruct the music to be played at the moment.
@@noampitlik2332 No idiot that is incorrect.
Yep a lot decided to quit the game after hearing it
I always marvel at the change in lengths of the players. They're hitting here what I would hit basically and I'm not great.
2:46:30 - Greg Norman's career in a nutshell.
Larry Mize one of the secretly purest golf swings of all time. Wow
Compare Peter Alliss' comments to those in this broadcast when Larry Mize chipped in.
man, if there was ever a major that Norman SHOULD have won (I know there are a lot) it's this one. IMO
He lost in 96, but in fairness in all the others he was beaten.
Is it me or does Langer look like Sting!! He like like an 80’s NEW WAVE DUDE!! Lol 😂
