Master's Sunday

Its Master's Sunday.  As the final round will be going off later this afternoon, its interesting to look back at two of the most interesting final rounds I saw.
1986.  Jack Nicklaus, at the age of 46, shot a 65 to beat Greg Norman by 1 stroke.
1996.  Nick Faldo had the greast final round comeback in Master's history as he rallied from a 7 shot deficit to overcome Greg Norman.

Its too bad that Norman was the loser in both of these tournaments.  Greg is a great player that seems to have been snake-bitten through out his career.  I watched as Greg was beaten out by miraculous shots.  In 1986, he was beaten by Bob Tway in the PGA championship when Bob holed out a bunker shot.  1990, Robert Gamez holed out a 175 yard shot to beat him in another tournament.  Greg Norman is a great player who won two major championships in his career.  That ought to be enough for a great player.

The 2006 final round will be interesting.  Phil Mickelson (-4) and Fred Couples are playing in the final group.  I'm looking forward to this.
