Faldo's 3-iron on No. 11 in the play-off was a thing of beauty and Ken Venturi's commentary was the perfect match for it. One of the shots I'll always remember having watched the Masters on TV since the early 70s.
@@Edgar_Randolph How right you are. And I remember him in the final round the following year nailing a 1-iron on the 15th that finished up just off the back, from where he made a birdie. No margin for error. Compare that with today where no one even knows what a 1-iron is, much less uses one off the fairway, and guys are hitting 8-irons to the 15th. Different times.
I was fortunate enough to play 18 holes with Mike “Radar” Reid a year or so after this Masters in a BSA fund raising tournament in Sun Valley, thanks to my father. What an experience! He was and remains one of the nicest, humble most gracious people I have ever had the opportunity to spend time with. His nickname “Radar” was every bit of how controlled his game was. I wish he could’ve won this one or The PGA Championship which just slipped from his grasp. While playing with mr. Reid, I asked him if he could pick who he was paired with in tournament play, who would it be. Without hesitation he responded, “Tom Watson, he has the greatest temperament of anyone on tour, never says a negative word, he makes you play better just playing with him and I’ve tried to follow his example of mental control while playing golf.” Radar did manage to pull off a couple Senior Majors :)
two solid long irons in the playoff from Faldo - first a 4 iron off a downhill lie, next a 3 iron off a downhill lie. nothing to worry about, just it being nearly dark, plus cold/rainy, with wet footing, a little fog, slippery grips, 1989 technology, a massive bunker at 10, and a water hazard at 11, plus gonad shrinking PRESSURE and a questionable sweater...... wow, if anyone wants to disparage the greatness of Faldo, just watch this replay!
Are you kidding me? Golf is the greatest game! It teaches you everything about life, pleasure, exhilaration, frustration, honesty, self respect. That incredible feeling of a sweet strike of the ball with any wood or iron, is something you will remember throughout the round, even if you’ve had many poor shots!
This brings back fantastic memories...i was 10yrs old had not long been playing golf and used to sit up late with my dad watching the masters dreaming of one day playing this beautiful course....watching my heroes play this wonderfull game!! I wish I could go back to that time just once more I miss it so much!!
Remember this Masters more than any I have seen since 1988 bar Sergio in 2017. I have seen most of them. Nick Faldos rhythm in his swing is second to none, could watch it forever. No hurry, no pulling, just the whole body working as one. Thnks a lot for uploading this! I have this in some of my old VHS-cassettes.
Lyle, Faldo, Woosnam - no better time to watch golf as a young teenager. We had just 3 channels on t.v back then , sport was a treat and this was the biggest treat of the year bar none. Staying up late and watching drama unfold on the most beautiful and pristine golf course in the world, happy times.
Best thing was playing until dark then catching at least the last 9 holes, usually 18 easily at the Masters. My first was 92 and Freddie was the man...and still is.
I always promised myself that after my made putt that broke 100 for the first time I would raise my arms like Faldo did at 3:23:42.. This spring I finally did it...I looked a bit foolish - it was a tap in - but I still enjoyed it.
I know the feeling ,I was even more elated whenever I first broke 80 ,I shot a 4 over 75 ,I made 12 one putts that day.The next day I shot a 91 ,ugh ,I love this game.
Are ya kiddin? Hey...Faldo played well....but come on. He had two of the most profoundly lucky events take place to win two of his wins. Hoch misses an 18” putt? Norman shoots +6 in the final round. Norman could’ve shot just even par and won. Hardly makes Faldo a ‘beast’. There’s difference between playing amazing like Woods in 1997...than having your opponent dump it so profoundly. Danny Willet didn’t win..Spieth lost. Same goes for two of Faldo’s wins. Take away the amazingly unusual events and Faldo is minus two Masters.
Wow, you sure don’t like English players winning do you?! Faldo shot 67 (by two shots, the best round of the day) in the heat of battle against Norman. How, by any possible definition, does that constitute a ‘lucky’ win?!! Time to get over it. Faldo’s long since retired - he won’t be getting lucky in any more of your precious Masters tournaments!
@@thevinsk Coulda shoulda woulda... Guess what? Norman didn't shoot even. Spieth didn't stay dry at 12. Hoch didn't make his 2 footer. That's golf. It's about survival as much as it is about triumph. Anyone familiar with the game knows this very well. Give Faldo his due.
@@thevinsk So you can't win at Golf... you can only lose it? What you just said, makes no sense. How many times has Tiger Woods won, when he held his nerve, and others didn't? I guess half of his wins, weren't wins either? Faldo held his nerve, and that's the end of it.
I was watching a modern golf video earlier and I was going to comment something like, I miss the 80’s and 90’s when golf was a peaceful experience to watch when we didn’t have drunk idiots shouting that when a guy hits driver on a 500 yard par 5. So annoying! How can those kind of guys think anyone enjoys them doing that?
*¡The blast from the past!* In the morning listen to The Beatles, in the afternoon watch a couple of Colombo chapters on TV, and then later you see Faldo winning the Masters.
Been rewatching old Masters…well my own first memories of golf is Woosnam in 1990 holing that putt at 18. But I have to say Norman is up there in nearly everyone from mid 80’s to mid 90’s. How on earth did he not win a Masters. An old wise dedicated golfer once told me Norman sold his soul for money and that was in the early 90’s. 👀😅⛳️🏆🖤
27:44 I'm glad Hoch missed this 10 footer because after he picked up the ball he placed it at least 2 inches closer to the hole. Study the footage and just look where the ball is in relation to his right foot.
If you look when Hoch is walking around his put when he grabbed the flag and dropped it on the green, his caddy had placed his ball behind the marker by a few inches, that's why Ben didn't say anything, he was standing right there and I don't think Hoch is that smart to get away with cheating, not like Reed
@@sonnyquoll8961 True ,Reed thought he was smart grounding his club in a waste bunker which is allowed, throwing sand back at the camera on practice swings is improving your lie which isn't allowed 🤣 for the world to see
Great videos and even better as the BBC have now stopped showing it, and they wonder why golf is dying in the UK. It's the masters and open that inspires future golfers, and sadly less than a million will be watching the masters come April
Nick Deakin totally agree. Golf on the BBC was the pinnacle. Masters, Open, Volvo master, world match play and the Dunhill cup all on terrestrial tv. The R&A and Sky have killed the game as I knew it growing up!
I so miss Peter alliss and just this era of golf I know tiger fanatics feel we should only love him but this era was special and the whole commentary etc I don't have that feeling for it anymore. I watch it of course but it's not the same
Hoch the choke, still remember watching this on my little portable telly till the early hrs in the UK, at the time it was great that faldo won, but looking back now, I wish Norman had won, all the chances he had in major's is now forgotten by most, but he was at the time the best player out there for me, and a great guy, he deserved a green jacket to cement the legend
Norman had all the talent to win a dozen majors, but lacked the mental focus, still , he did have a great career. One of my favorite golfers of all time.
BS! Sorry but it wasn't a mental issue with him, it was just bad luck; Bob tway holing a bunker shot; Larry mize pitching in; Mark calcavechia pitching in and some; nicklaus coming out of nowhere etc... that's 4 off the top of my head, he got very unlucky on many occasions.
Seeing Ken Green with the green glove and shoes brings back memories. He played his best golf for a couple years in the late 80’s. Poor guy was in a terrible car accident a few years ago in which his wife was killed and he was pretty severely injured.
Unbelievable final round action! Faldo awesome, but obviously Hoch blew a great chance. I would have loved to see the Shark in the playoff. I think he should have taken Driver on 18. Best play of the day for me was Crenshaw's wood onto the green and holing a 30 footer to birdie 17.
@@andrefecteau Bobby Jones used hickory shafted clubs. He possibly hit it 300 yards one hundred feet downhill and with a 30 mph helping wind. It's not the brain but the person with a delusional brain.
The commentators were so biased towards Greg Norman! Nick Faldo makes an absolute bomb on 17 to take the lead. And they barely had any reaction?!🤷♂️🤦♂️ What a putting exhibition by Sir Nick Faldo. Nerves of steel! Total choke by Scott Hoch! Great performance by the Shark as well. Just seemed snake bitten when it came to winning a green jacket. Such a unique Masters tournament. With the relatively high scoring, and rain. Love watching the classic tournaments back!
Such a poor putting display on 10 from Hoch. He must still have nightmares about it. Unbelievable play from Nick on 11. Nailed the iron straight at it then holed out. No lucky chip in, just great play.
DanLoudShirts You've got to feel for Scott Choke. I can't remember ever seeing him again after this event. Make you right though. Fabulous play from Nick.
For the third time in four years, Greg Norman had a chance to win or tie on 18, but nerves undoubtedly interfered b/c the guy who made the a steely-eyed charge from 13-17 suddenly disappeared.. He was overly cautious on the drive and left himself a long, difficult approach in the rain over a greenside bunker.
I really think Norman had some kind of mental major block. He just had too much talent to throw things away time and time again. He needed a sports shrink
What's interesting is that right once the commentators saw the ball settle, they said it wasn't a gimmie. 2 or 3 footers with wicked break can be missed.
@@WCGreenyHenry Longhurst said something similar before Doug Sanders missed an almost identical putt to beat Jack Nicklaus at St Andrews in 1970. He said something to the effect of “this is the putt you’d pray to not have: a downhill putt with a left-hand borrow”
The amazing thing about Hoch's missed 2 footer is he seems to have lined up to the left edge and then hit it straight. He didn't pull it, he just gave away the hole.
@@scooteragnew9248he also putted with a very open stance, so the combination of him aiming at the left edge and his unorthodox stance make it look like he’s aiming miles left. Really it was an inside left putt but he hit it left edge and tried to dye it in. To be fair, a left to right slider is the toughest short putt to have, especially to win. In the moments before Doug Sanders missed an almost identical putt to beat Jack Nicklaus at St Andrews, Henry Longhurst noted that this was the toughest putt Sanders could face, “a downhill putt with a left-hand borrow”.
You want to know the class of Nick Faldo...he didn't want Scott Hoch to miss the return on 10. He thought well if I'm going to win this tournament, I don't want it to be with a bogey. Then he showed complete class on 11 with that 3 iron second shot which looked perfect all the way. I remember this shot 31 years later.
3:33:09 The jacket is too small. Nick needs a 44L, yet they gave him a 43, and after putting it on it was clearly too small. I suppose the club gave him the correct size later.
The fact that Greg Norman never won a Masters is remarkable. Such a huge talent who was weak between the ears. His collapse against Faldo in '96 is one of the biggest chokes in all of sports...ever.
Crenshaw's putt on the 17th was amazing - it seemed clear it was going to miss right then it broke back to the left, rather like Nicklaus's shorter 1986 putt did. Then Crenshaw hit a horrible putt on the 18th, as far off line as Tom Watson's in the 2009 Open. That's golf.
What I'm loving about this video, is the yardages, Seve hits a tee shot a little right between the tall pines on the 13th, it was 210 yards from the front pine, commentator says there was no way Seve could get a ball to the green. These days that's a 5i.
1986, 1987, 1996 are of course all ones that Greg Norman either let slip away or were taken away from him. This one to me, though, is the one underrated one that got away honestly. Teeing off 18 with a 1-iron leads to a bogey that keeps him 1 shot out of the playoff with Faldo and Hoch. Considering that they both make bogey on 10 (the 1st playoff hole), Norman has to rue that decision just as much as Larry Mize's chip shot and that Sunday collapse in 1996.
@@BOO66IOU If Norman shoots even par on Sunday in 1996, he still beats Faldo by 1, even with Sir Nick's fabulous 67, which was the low round of the day. Faldo won, but got plenty of help from Norman's 78.
@nicholasschroeder3678 Hard to say he choked when he birdied 5 holes in a row, to get to equal lead playing 18. Everyone remembers that bogey, but forgets the 5 birdies to get there
It was a long list of near misses for Norman. He won 88 professional tournaments but I'd guess other than his two British opens he would have probably been happy to exchange the other 86 for one green jacket.
I always think about Hoch’s 2-footer when I’m nervous over a meaningless putt with my buddies. Imagine that pressure! If that putt drops, Hoch and his sweet swing are immortal. Now, I only see his name in the comments of this video upload.
I use to hit 225yards😢 with my 5 would and im happy. I did 240 yards inside last week and after i applied your great knowledge i gain 50 yars hahha with my 5 wood! Yes i did multiple 275 carry 290 total with my 5 wood haha....i couldnt do it with my 3 wood lol driver 300yards loll i use to drive 265/270 yards driver....today 295 to 300 with old club. My driver is a old ping g30 10.5 And my 5 wood is an old raylomade rbz
Like sand in an hourglass, one measly grain at a time. So subtle, we barely notice. Forget to attend to it. Until one day you realize that it's been bleeding away all the while.
I hope Nick sends Scott Hoch a Thank You card every year for handing him this Masters win. Wait a minute...he needs to send Greg Norman one for the one in 1996, too.
Why?? Greg especially played badly over 18 holes and finished miles behind....faldo shot 67....if you don't hold ya nerve you don't win...faldo was for 10 years the best golfer in the world
bubba gump Faldo’s round would have caught Norman even if he shot even par Sunday… the choke was losing by 5 after leading by 6, Faldo was catching him either way though
Faldo shot 65 on a challenging day that made everybody suffer. Hoch might have given him a present on the first playoff hole, but Faldo's victory was well earned.
One of the best things about watching these or when I record a golf tournaments is I skip through the annoying segments CBS, NBC, or TGC put in about side stores. Or I skip the even more annoying commercials! I counted the other day TGC showed three shots and then commercials, this pattern continued until I stopped watching a half hour later. I looked up the winner after it was over. I want to see golf not listen to announcers tell stories ( unless it's Feherty) or advertiser tell we need something when we don't!!!....There, I feel better!
Scott Hoch took way too long to putt out on the 18th. And he did it again on the first playoff hole (10th hole). It’s like he was too afraid to win, he blew it big time. It’s no wonder they said that Hoch rhymes with choke! Greg Norman’s caddie here is the New Zealander Steve Williams who would experience disappointment and AGAIN the very next year when caddying for Ray Floyd, by losing to back to back Masters winner Nick Faldo. Little did Steve know that he would become the most successful caddie of all time winning 14 Major Championships (13 with Tiger and 1 with Adam Scott).
So enjoyed watching this, how did seve not win this?? How did Norman not win ? Faldo was way off lead, such drama right to the end, hoch missing that putt but to fair it was above the hole and it was dark (hehe) is it me or they did take their time in those days... Esp seve .. Free drop? He liked to chance him arm 😂. Thanks again for posting this video esp as no Masters this year 😰
A little chatter during the break on the first playoff hole. You can hear Nantz talking and saying yes sir to someone, most likely the producer Frank Chirkinian who was the boss of the CBS operation at Augusta for years.
Jack Nicklaus brain/mindset/self confidence...into Greg Norman...wins wins wins!!! Greg was not a pressure player...his ego was not in check. Terrific player...to never win a major in the USA...could not rise to the occasion. To think he does not have a green jacket, when going over the games he played at Augusta, and was in the top10. Pressure, was Greg's achilles. So many people wanted to see you win...even fellow player's!!!
Dont forger about Mrs. Mackenzie also designed a hole or two. Ive never been there, but I love the Masters Golf Tournament and its my favorite to watch every year and now with these awesome channels , I can watch them whenever I like, and I watch them over and over...
You should try the Mackenzie designed Pitreavie GC if you are ever in Fife. Designed ten years before Augusta in 1922, some holes are eerily similar, 12 and 13 in particular.
@@dhoey98 Ha ha, I think Jack Nicklaus was first to make that bonkers remark - more evidence to support my belief that golfers are bigger loonies than players of any other sport.
I know that putt had to haunt him for years. Would have been life changing if he hit that low and it drops. 2 footer for The Masters....Man I feel bad for him.
Faldo's 3-iron on No. 11 in the play-off was a thing of beauty and Ken Venturi's commentary was the perfect match for it. One of the shots I'll always remember having watched the Masters on TV since the early 70s.

I’ll always remember Ken Venturi and Ben Wright as the voices of the Masters, nothing compares with that today.
You've got that right
It was always great listening to Ken Venturi and Pat Summerall.
I would never put Ben Wright in the same category as those two legends!
two solid long irons in the playoff from Faldo - first a 4 iron off a downhill lie, next a 3 iron off a downhill lie. nothing to worry about, just it being nearly dark, plus cold/rainy, with wet footing, a little fog, slippery grips, 1989 technology, a massive bunker at 10, and a water hazard at 11, plus gonad shrinking PRESSURE and a questionable sweater...... wow, if anyone wants to disparage the greatness of Faldo, just watch this replay!
Especially the one into 11 on the 2nd Playoff hole. Incredible
“Questionable sweater” 🤣🤣🤣
No, nothing solid about the first one..lucky putt, he should have lost on 10
First iron was in the bunker on ten. How is that solid.
Faldo’s iron play was spectacular all day, approach on 13 was almost identical to the shot he hit in there in 1996.
Work 6 day's, Sunday relaxation viewing golf by the best...priceless. Never played but love it .
Buy a bag of secondhand sticks and start swinging. One of life's great tragedies is never having played a round of golf.
Are you kidding me?

Nick Faldo, one of only 3 players to win back to back Masters.
And both times, he made the clutch shots while the other guy choked. That's Jack air space.
@dmimcg Yep. And his third followed that familiar theme, as well. Poor Greg. Wildly talented, but he never could find it in his gut to close one out.
Norman had all the talent to win a dozen majors, but lacked the mental focus, still , he did have a great career. One of my favorite golfers of all time.
too busy rooting
Seemed so...I almost think he had some kind of block and needed a sports shrink
He looked steely on the exterior but too much self doubt. He should have double digit majors with his ability.
@@MrKitkennedy??

Love the smooth American accents 😊👍🏻 Greatly appreciated 😊
3:12:55 Sandy Lyle is right. Classic mistakes under pressure are to either take too long or to rush. Just take your normal length of time.

Unbelievable final round action! Faldo awesome, but obviously Hoch blew a great chance. I would have loved to see the Shark in the playoff. I think he should have taken Driver on 18. Best play of the day for me was Crenshaw's wood onto the green and holing a 30 footer to birdie 17.
1 iron certainly wasn't the right play, a wood would have given him a perfect 5 iron
Norman managed to blow it on so many occasions. Frustrating because he was an exciting player.
Faldo won 2 out of his 3 Master's titles by shooting the lowest score of the final day - that takes some guts as well as skill
Faldo had less top tens in The Masters than any other major, he had only 3 top tens, so he won every time he was in the top ten.
Faldo was a player they didn't want to see behind them chasing them down, a grinder.
Faldo was fantastic in early 90s.Great swing and cool under pressure.The iron he hit in play off was exceptional.
Greg Norman driving the ball 290 with that equipment is simply incredible
Bobby Jones hit 300...it ain't the fiddle, it's the fiddler
@@andrefecteau Bobby Jones used hickory shafted clubs. He possibly hit it 300 yards one hundred feet downhill and with a 30 mph helping wind.
It's not the brain but the person with a delusional brain.
@@choochcoleman703 sounds like you speak from experience...if we weren't all crazy we'd all go insane...JB
@@choochcoleman703 you’re probably more accurate than Andre. That much I do know.
Yes. Yes it is
Sandy Lyle wearing a kilt at the jacket presentation is spectacular 3:33:30
The commentators were so biased towards Greg Norman! Nick Faldo makes an absolute bomb on 17 to take the lead. And they barely had any reaction?!🤷♂️🤦♂️ What a putting exhibition by Sir Nick Faldo. Nerves of steel! Total choke by Scott Hoch! Great performance by the Shark as well. Just seemed snake bitten when it came to winning a green jacket. Such a unique Masters tournament. With the relatively high scoring, and rain. Love watching the classic tournaments back!
Announcers continually refer to it as "The Green Coat." Now it is called "The Green Jacket." @1:46:24 and @1:46:31 and @3:10:22
56:00 Faldo excellence from 230 yards !
Faldo's my all time favourite along with Sam Snead; he was positively 'surgical' in this tournament.
Yep. Now they hit short irons in. Kinda ruins it.
One of the best Long Iron players ever
Love that "Bobby Orr Invitational" umbrella for Crenshaw on 18!
It looked like he’d had that umbrella since Bobby Orr was still playing
Faldo had the steely character that makes a great, it’s a mindset!
P
Jim Nantz is a national treasure. The best!
Absolutely
Such a poor putting display on 10 from Hoch. He must still have nightmares about it. Unbelievable play from Nick on 11. Nailed the iron straight at it then holed out. No lucky chip in, just great play.

You've got to feel for Scott Choke. I can't remember ever seeing him again after this event. Make you right though. Fabulous play from Nick.
he still won 11 times on the PGA Tour
@@taistyveg You must not have watched much golf. He won an event 3 weeks afterwards, and had 7 pgatour wins following that.
@@mekan0001 And yet everyone knows him for this gag job. He botched the first putt, and made a pathetic stroke for the 2nd
For the third time in four years, Greg Norman had a chance to win or tie on 18, but nerves undoubtedly interfered b/c the guy who made the a steely-eyed charge from 13-17 suddenly disappeared.. He was overly cautious on the drive and left himself a long, difficult approach in the rain over a greenside bunker.
I really think Norman had some kind of mental major block. He just had too much talent to throw things away time and time again. He needed a sports shrink
Hoch's putt: every golfer has been there.
What's interesting is that right once the commentators saw the ball settle, they said it wasn't a gimmie. 2 or 3 footers with wicked break can be missed.
@@WCGreenyHenry Longhurst said something similar before Doug Sanders missed an almost identical putt to beat Jack Nicklaus at St Andrews in 1970. He said something to the effect of “this is the putt you’d pray to not have: a downhill putt with a left-hand borrow”
The amazing thing about Hoch's missed 2 footer is he seems to have lined up to the left edge and then hit it straight. He didn't pull it, he just gave away the hole.
It looked like he was trying to miss it. You can see before the putt that his angle was off.
@@scooteragnew9248he also putted with a very open stance, so the combination of him aiming at the left edge and his unorthodox stance make it look like he’s aiming miles left.
Really it was an inside left putt but he hit it left edge and tried to dye it in. To be fair, a left to right slider is the toughest short putt to have, especially to win.
In the moments before Doug Sanders missed an almost identical putt to beat Jack Nicklaus at St Andrews, Henry Longhurst noted that this was the toughest putt Sanders could face, “a downhill putt with a left-hand borrow”.
Love watching this listening to the not so subtle American favouritism commentary knowing Sir Nick took it out!
You want to know the class of Nick Faldo...he didn't want Scott Hoch to miss the return on 10. He thought well if I'm going to win this tournament, I don't want it to be with a bogey. Then he showed complete class on 11 with that 3 iron second shot which looked perfect all the way. I remember this shot 31 years later.
I think there's no way he wanted Scott to hole that putt!! The look on faldos face was relief that he had another chance and he took it
Not the 2 foot downhill, I meant the final putt to make the bogey. Faldo himself said he didn't want to win with Hoch making double bogey.
@@ukdavepianoman oh I see my apologies
3:33:09 The jacket is too small. Nick needs a 44L, yet they gave him a 43, and after putting it on it was clearly too small. I suppose the club gave him the correct size later.
And Sandy's cold hands comment during the handshake lol. I wonder what he meant by that?, maybe I'm just being cynical.
@@andyhodgson7692 Nick was out there in the cold rain for 5 hours
@@untexan fair enough. There was a time when Lyle didn't like Faldo though and described him as being cold.
THERE IT IS!!
The fact that Greg Norman never won a Masters is remarkable. Such a huge talent who was weak between the ears. His collapse against Faldo in '96 is one of the biggest chokes in all of sports...ever.
Faldo was a machine. The 1996 masters was the best ever
Crenshaw's putt on the 17th was amazing - it seemed clear it was going to miss right then it broke back to the left, rather like Nicklaus's shorter 1986 putt did.
Then Crenshaw hit a horrible putt on the 18th, as far off line as Tom Watson's in the 2009 Open.
That's golf.
Really enjoyed watching this! Thank you The Masters!
Remember watching Sandy Lyle at Birkdale 98 tee off on 1st. Took half swing, not even 3/4...but went a mile. Amazing!
I have heard that at the age of 3 he was driving the ball 80 yards. Powerful swing.
He wasn’t hitting it 80 yards at the age of three. Come on, think about it.
He was however a prodigiously long hitter, and amazing with his 1 iron.
The masters is peak old man and I’m here for it.
3:32:10 The start of the Faldo-Nantz chemistry on CBS. Nantz looks enamored..
Great catch
What I'm loving about this video, is the yardages, Seve hits a tee shot a little right between the tall pines on the 13th, it was 210 yards from the front pine, commentator says there was no way Seve could get a ball to the green. These days that's a 5i.
1986, 1987, 1996 are of course all ones that Greg Norman either let slip away or were taken away from him. This one to me, though, is the one underrated one that got away honestly. Teeing off 18 with a 1-iron leads to a bogey that keeps him 1 shot out of the playoff with Faldo and Hoch. Considering that they both make bogey on 10 (the 1st playoff hole), Norman has to rue that decision just as much as Larry Mize's chip shot and that Sunday collapse in 1996.
He did the same thing in 86. He choked--a lot. I honestly think he had some kind of mental block
He didn't let 96 slip faldo beat him comfortably
@@BOO66IOU If Norman shoots even par on Sunday in 1996, he still beats Faldo by 1, even with Sir Nick's fabulous 67, which was the low round of the day. Faldo won, but got plenty of help from Norman's 78.
@nicholasschroeder3678 Hard to say he choked when he birdied 5 holes in a row, to get to equal lead playing 18. Everyone remembers that bogey, but forgets the 5 birdies to get there
It was a long list of near misses for Norman. He won 88 professional tournaments but I'd guess other than his two British opens he would have probably been happy to exchange the other 86 for one green jacket.
bet nick was lovin the casual water on 11. golfing history!!
the Shark with a head scratcher at 18, teeing off with a 1 iron. especially with momentum going into it.
I'll never forget his epic collapse at Augusta, I felt bad for the guy.
Glad you’re getting lesson. It will be great to see the improvements.
Man, that is so sad about Scott, I remember watching this thinking, that poor man.
I always think about Hoch’s 2-footer when I’m nervous over a meaningless putt with my buddies. Imagine that pressure! If that putt drops, Hoch and his sweet swing are immortal. Now, I only see his name in the comments of this video upload.
1989...when golf was hard, and the equipment made it harder!!!!
When did it get easy? 🤣
I missed a short putt like Hoch's in my Member/Member. Still haunts me to this day...
I'm sorry for the miss.
Back again comfort viewing
Same
This is when I discovered golf it's been a long Affair ever since
3:31:09 a brutal year for the amateurs
I use to hit 225yards😢 with my 5 would and im happy.
I did 240 yards inside last week and after i applied your great knowledge i gain 50 yars hahha with my 5 wood!
Yes i did multiple 275 carry 290 total with my 5 wood haha....i couldnt do it with my 3 wood lol driver 300yards loll i use to drive 265/270 yards driver....today 295 to 300 with old club. My driver is a old ping g30 10.5
And my 5 wood is an old raylomade rbz
The kilt and the too small green jacket is classic.
Seve was having some '86 flashback memories for sure there on 15 and 16...started blaming the patrons for his errors lol.
Scott lined the ball up to the left edge and tried to give it a two-inch tap; he tapped it three inches.
3:10:50 Still absolutely hilarious after all of these years. How Faldo kept from doing cartwheels after that is astounding.
How many Majors did Norman choke on?? What a great broadcast!! And the nostalgia of a professional hitting 4 irons from 180...wow!
Lots.
the bias of the announcers against Scott Hoch was very evident and unfortunate to say the least. Showed itself against Ben and then Against Faldo.
Mike Reid had the rournament in his hands
Could watch Seve swing all day...wonder ful rhythm. Only prettier swing was Weiskoff's
I loved watching this as a 15 year old kid. I can hardly believe it's 29 years ago. Where does the time go?.
Like sand in an hourglass, one measly grain at a time. So subtle, we barely notice. Forget to attend to it. Until one day you realize that it's been bleeding away all the while.
Hoch's putt @ 15:45 on the 7th foreshadows the stroke he makes on the playoff hole.
I hope Nick sends Scott Hoch a Thank You card every year for handing him this Masters win. Wait a minute...he needs to send Greg Norman one for the one in 1996, too.
Why?? Greg especially played badly over 18 holes and finished miles behind....faldo shot 67....if you don't hold ya nerve you don't win...faldo was for 10 years the best golfer in the world
bubba gump Faldo’s round would have caught Norman even if he shot even par Sunday… the choke was losing by 5 after leading by 6, Faldo was catching him either way though
Faldo shot 65 on a challenging day that made everybody suffer. Hoch might have given him a present on the first playoff hole, but Faldo's victory was well earned.
In the end, it's the lowest score that wins, and it doesn't matter how you got there.
@TheLocalLt Don't know how u do your math, but Norman wins by 1 shot if shoots even par on the final day, instead he shot 78
One of the best things about watching these or when I record a golf tournaments is I skip through the annoying segments CBS, NBC, or TGC put in about side stores. Or I skip the even more annoying commercials! I counted the other day TGC showed three shots and then commercials, this pattern continued until I stopped watching a half hour later. I looked up the winner after it was over. I want to see golf not listen to announcers tell stories ( unless it's Feherty) or advertiser tell we need something when we don't!!!....There, I feel better!
Crenshaw lighting up-superb!
Scott Hoch took way too long to putt out on the 18th. And he did it again on the first playoff hole (10th hole). It’s like he was too afraid to win, he blew it big time. It’s no wonder they said that Hoch rhymes with choke!
Greg Norman’s caddie here is the New Zealander Steve Williams who would experience disappointment and AGAIN the very next year when caddying for Ray Floyd, by losing to back to back Masters winner Nick Faldo.
Little did Steve know that he would become the most successful caddie of all time winning 14 Major Championships (13 with Tiger and 1 with Adam Scott).
So enjoyed watching this, how did seve not win this?? How did Norman not win ? Faldo was way off lead, such drama right to the end, hoch missing that putt but to fair it was above the hole and it was dark (hehe) is it me or they did take their time in those days... Esp seve .. Free drop? He liked to chance him arm 😂. Thanks again for posting this video esp as no Masters this year 😰
3:09:50 it's amazing the announcer almost predicted Hoch's missed putt. But he predicted the wrong side of the hole he would miss.
A little chatter during the break on the first playoff hole. You can hear Nantz talking and saying yes sir to someone, most likely the producer Frank Chirkinian who was the boss of the CBS operation at Augusta for years.
Faldo walked into the room to get his coat with basically a Scottish skirt on and Hardin told him sternly Lose the dress.
Sorry.. Lyle had the kilt on as previous winner(scot).. Just saying.. Thanks for Clifford Roberts update though
I mean unless you were there then I hold my hands up
Ben Crenshaw lighting a cig, my how times have changed! Now it's eat a power bar and drink a sports drink.
Cigar probably healthier
155.06 The tall blond guy in the red jacket has stood in that exact spot every Masters for over a decade!
Jack Nicklaus brain/mindset/self confidence...into Greg Norman...wins wins wins!!!
Greg was not a pressure player...his ego was not in check.
Terrific player...to never win a major in the USA...could not rise to the occasion.
To think he does not have a green jacket, when going over the games he played at Augusta, and was in the top10.
Pressure, was Greg's achilles.
So many people wanted to see you win...even fellow player's!!!
What a change of leaders in this final round.
Don't feel too bad for Hoch. He made over $20 million in his career.
snag66 Hoch won eight times on the PGA Tour after this, and played in two Ryder Cups in his forties. I’d say he recovered fine.
Well Norman is worth 9 figures but I still feel bad for him that he never won an American major.
Bobby never designed Augusta.. alone . At least have the decency to tell the truth .. Dr Allister Mackenzie was the brains behind the Course
Dont forger about Mrs. Mackenzie also designed a hole or two. Ive never been there, but I love the Masters Golf Tournament and its my favorite to watch every year and now with these awesome channels , I can watch them whenever I like, and I watch them over and over...
You should try the Mackenzie designed Pitreavie GC if you are ever in Fife.
Designed ten years before Augusta in 1922, some holes are eerily similar, 12 and 13 in particular.
Commentator on Mike Reid playing 14th: 'He will not make any mistakes', 'He will not make many mistakes'... reality, he will not stop making mistakes.
just hearing Bob Costas is so nice
Digging the music score from Patton ! 🇺🇸 🏌🏼♂️
Officials were ready to call play for the day had Faldo not sunk that long putt - the darkness is not obvious on the tv screen.
When the world wasn't as dumb as it is today in 2021!
Faldo in my opinion is top 3 all time
A great reminder of the majestic chip Hoch played on the 17th, and the beautiful putt which somehow missed.
Shame his career ‘ highlight’ is a missed Masters championship putt & tough moniker ‘hoch the choke’ - tough game.
Like we like to say "I made the putt, just didn't go in"
@@dhoey98 Ha ha, I think Jack Nicklaus was first to make that bonkers remark - more evidence to support my belief that golfers are bigger loonies than players of any other sport.
I concur, that shot on 17 was phenomenal.
Hoch was a great iron player. Too bad he missed that short putt.
I know that putt had to haunt him for years. Would have been life changing if he hit that low and it drops. 2 footer for The Masters....Man I feel bad for him.
High Peak visors were certainly the name of the game back in the day
Bobby Jones had a nice swing.
TheWheels777 he was Bobby jones for a reason
That was back when they had hickory shafts. Swings were longer to allow for the twisting. His book of golf essays makes great reading.
