Just doing the same, some great night's off golf, in Ireland it was late viewing and a hope you'd be allowed to stay up and watch it, thankfully I was.
I'm same as you. I've not watch any golf in the last 18 years. So all the late 80's, 90's golf is still fresh to me. I'm stuck in the past. But I'd go back there tomorrow..
What a time it was to grow up as a European/British golfer. We dominated the masters for the best part of 15-20 years. If it wasn’t Faldo or Seve, it was Langer, or Lyle, or Woosnam, but not least the very sympathetic José-Maria Olazabal. Is it any wonder we did well in the Ryder cup? No, because you saw in all of these players how brilliant they were in match play situations. They all had the stomach for the fight.
Stat that has been lost with time, but still impressive: in 4 consecutive years (95-98), Tom Lehman played in the final Sunday group of each US Open and won none of them. But he did win the British Open in 1996 and briefly held the #1 world ranking spot.
The 15th hole with Lehman and Jose is amazing. The crowd and the broadcasters (mostly the latter) seem to be coronating Lehman as he walks to the green and Jose walks off of it having essentially won the tournament.
Incredible to watch re-watch these with a new appreciation of perspective and context. I mean that 15th hole for Jose and Tom is simply incredible and makes you believe that fate is a very real thing. I mean Ollie is legitimately a foot away from making a 6 at best and walks off with a 3 while big Tom hits the best shot of the day in there and sees his perfect, center tracking putt take an inexplicable last second detour and miss by what, a quarter inch? That's a legit 4 shot swing right there that 100% decides the tournament - even compounded when you realize that if his ball then at 16 hadn't trickled down into that left side channel, a second putt inside of 6 feet is almost impossible too. Reminds me of 05 and DiMarco getting shafted by the golf gods with his putt at 16 and chip at 18 that lips out as he had to swallow Tiger making his sensational but fortunate hole out at 16 just to keep himself alive. Either way it never ceases to amaze how much incredible razors edge drama always happens on the back 9 at Augusta on Sunday save for a few years (Tiger in 97 and DJ this year spring to mind). Awesome.
I don't understand why Tom Lehman hit iron off the tee on 18??🤷♂️ He was down 1, had been striping his driver, and 18 is hard to birdie. Odd to think a man of his age lost the tournament because of inexperience. But Lehman was just starting out on the PGA Tour. Had played in very few Majors at the time. Credit to Josie Maria Olazabal for grinding throughout the round. And what a putt for Eagle he made on 15! What Lehman wouldn't give to have 1 of those putts on the back nine drop..? What a unique Masters. Played more like a U.S. Open, or British Open scoring wise. Love watching these past Masters tournaments back!
Because he couldn’t fade the ball with his driver, by his own admission. He took iron hoping to stay short of the bunker. He never really managed to reliably fade the ball throughout his career. Same problem on the 72nd hole of the ‘96 US Open.
@MrAJR76 I understand playing against your miss. But in that situation needing a birdie, I think he should've played aggressively. Nobody remembers whether you finished 2nd or 3rd. Only who won!
Levin 1976 that’s absurd, he was basically praising the setup. He was saying there are body bags behind the green to imply that anyone who went over the green was dead. Which is true if you know the 17th at Augusta. If he just said “dead” he probly would still be there to this day (dead is a word Ken Venturi used to use a lot) but the uptight Augusta members at the time didn’t like his metaphor to body bags. Seems like a really ticky tack fine line
1994 was the final straw for Gary McCord’s career at the Masters, and the year before Ben Wright’s final year commentary as well. Both men were outstanding talents, and the cowards at CBS including Jim Nantz let both of these men roast in the sun for the continuation of CBS’ bottom line.
2:09:23. The infamous, seemingly innocuous ‘body bags’ comment from Gary McCord, who was/is a great commentator. Now just need to find the bikini wax line.
And this was the last we heard of Gary McCord doing the Masters. Can’t say I agreed with it…but after hearing the “body bags”, “they don’t cut the greens they use bikini wax” and his British “theatre” imitation…. I understand.
Was there ever a more overrated commentator than Pat Summerall. He says absolutely nothing of significance, ever. Was the same in NFL work. Venturi was too fond of his own voice and never knew when to be quiet and proud to let you know. What was Lehman thinking on the 18th tee? You could see the regret on his face as Josè teed up the answer iron.
2:14:34 the greatest golf commentator Gary McCord was fired over saying bikini wax. Stupid! Golf commentating has never been the same since, Keeps getting worse. Listen to the Masters commentating this year after listening to this broadcast, it's boring!
I've just binged watched all of these, doesn't seem that long ago since I watched them live in the late 80s early 90s as a kid....great vids

He should've won that '96 U.S. Open. People remember the shot in the water against Els in 1997, but 1996 was Lehman's best year of golf IMO
He's a great player fair player! Didn't win enough, but alas
Norman was leading All 4 majors after the third round in 86. They called it the Saturday slam he only won the open championship that year

Credit to Augusta National for not scrubbing Gary's comments.
I tried forever to find the telecast of those comments and here it is! :D
@@c200d45e95 What's the timestamp?
@@twig8412 2:14:18
Olazabal’s eagle on 15 should be talked about more. That’s a clutch way to clench a major. Broke Lehman’s heart right there.
Actually I think the putts Tom missed on 15 and 16 broke his heart more than Jose's eagle.
And that eagle did not clinch anyting.
That Larry Mize swing is so smooth.......
Very smooth... At 1:03:59 a beautiful swing
Fun fact: In the state of Michigan, if you return Tom Kite's glasses to the bottler, you get a 10 cent rebate.
great golfer but doesn't he look like he could be cousins with Hank Hill? Same glasses and haircut??
2...20 cents.....

Agreed what is The difference between second or third.

So the 1994 Masters was Pat Summerall’s Final broadcast with CBS Sports before moving to Fox?
Yes.
Diego Juárez yes his first Fox event was the NFL preseason in August 1994
That background music is jamming!!! Saved by the bell.
141.53 the same tall blonde gentleman in the red vest behind the tee at 15 for decades. A tradition unlike any other.
Olazabal's great short game under pressure was the difference.
is there any footage of Maggert's double eagle from this round?
I've been trying to find it. Can't. It was such a brief moment and the slider skips it. I'd have to watch it, again, to catch it.
No, that shot wasn’t televised.
Lehman pitch @6:56 fantastic overhead view of totally linea club path , literally straight back and through
John Harris was the only am to make it to the weekend
Gary McCord disliked this video
At 2:14:15 is Gary McCord's famous bikini wax comment that got him banned for life.
Jeff Brauner nice. Where is the “body bag” comment?
B B at 2:09:35 or so. It’s when Jose Maria hits his approach
Augusta about to ban this comment and you along with McCord
McCord was almost out of control this day...Tom Watson was bang-on: he had to go.
Levin 1976 that’s absurd, he was basically praising the setup. He was saying there are body bags behind the green to imply that anyone who went over the green was dead.

The broadcast that ended McCord’s run at the Masters……thanks to T Watson…..too bad
The picture is great up until approx the 13th for the final group. Then the picture gets jerky, please fix. Deserves best coverage :-)
Seeing as the source material is probably an old video tape I don't think they're going to fix it.
Leave the Jim Beam alone

That jazzy music playing during the recap highlights, in the begining, is nice.
Always thought it was kind strange myself
That horrible spelling of the word beginning.
@@geoffreyholland328 Thanks! Now you can correct your obvious dependent clause error. First off, you might try studying sentence fragments.
@@noampitlik2332 And you cannot possibly be more of a loser than you already are.
@@geoffreyholland328 Ah, the troll must pay the toll.
Lehman deserved this one. Jose caught huge breaks on 15 and 17.
Those things happen.
Some golfers have nicknames, I think I would be called the water diviner as I always seem to find it, what would yours be.
I was born on this day in Scotland at around 21:40, so I think the timeline adds up?
21:40 UK time I mean
Kenny: "The only thing those putts didn't do, was go in."
Wow, a glimpse into the future starting around 1:14:47 , as all of us are waiting to see if the ball moves so we can call in the penalty. lol
Lehman missed those putts on 15 And 16 cost him a potential play off.
Els was Three back going to the 13th hole And shot 3 over His last 6 holes.
And this was the last we heard of Gary McCord doing the Masters. Can’t say I agreed with it…but after hearing the “body bags”, “they don’t cut the greens they use bikini wax” and his British “theatre” imitation…. I understand.
At least they didn't censor it.
Thats what you call making golf fun and interesting to watch.
Jose had a great swing
We cant get those Izods with the gator here anymore
Kenny’s classic “garrerries” 2:20:30
44:06...Jose was either worried about Lehman's follow-through line. Or when a terribly slow player decides to go real slow?
Clearly worried about standing in Lehman’s line.
1 inch
Levin 1976 man...that win over your boy Tom Lehman, still hurts after all these years. Let it go boss.
@@cmc6112Olazabal's 1994 pace of play hurts.
Let's be honest, they were both slow
Larry Mize is only 36 here! Looks about 50
Foreigners, today that could be racist, Spanish would be correct.
2:14:20 😂😂😂
Lehman couldn’t seal the deal
“More loft is easier to curve the ball!” 🤣
not the way i hit my 4 or 5 iron. .less loft more chance to slice. which i DO! dammit
If talking about a driver he is right.........hitting a slight draw with 9 degrees is easier than with 7 degrees.
It’s easier to hook a ball with short irons, and easier to slice them with long irons.

That was exactly what made him great, you don't need all that insipid blathering to enjoy any sporting event.
The two extremes bicklesby1. Fact is you wouldn't have missed him if he wasn't there, not a significant addition to the broadcast.
Pat Summerall was excellent and you're an idiot.
