An underrated Masters, as others have mentioned. Greg never backed down from the spotlight, and what a comeback for Olazabal from his physical ailments. Always understated and never gets the attention he deserves as one of the great European players in history!

A humble man with a beautiful swing and always a calm demeanor. Jose Maria Olazabal congratulations even in 2023.

It is really pleasant to see how everyone pulled for Greg to WIN a Masters...really shines as to what a guy Greg is!

The European contingent of this era said that Jose Maria had no equal from five feet and closer with his putter. Superb iron play and short game won this Masters for him. He’s a great ambassador for the game, a humble soul and a worthy champion.

My dad had a set of 1960's era MacGregor MT's that were beautiful.

Olazabal''s birdie putt at the 13th, 30 seconds after Norman's explosive eagle was one of the biggest shots of the tournament. It took a lot of the starch off what could have been a huge momentum swing in the shark's favor. Norman sealed his fate on 15 looking frustrated and nervous, while Olazabal played mistake free all the way home.

@Paul Steinwall Definitely. Norman also made a run at the 1999 Open Championship through two days but found trouble near the end of the day on Friday. Based on how wild that tournament was, if he'd found a way to steady himself he might've had a chance to benefit from Van de Velde's collapse. Also, he started the 2000 Masters at like +8 and clawed it all the way back to E by the end of the tournament. Vijay won at -10, so if Greg had only shot a 70 on Thursday he could've mounted one last charge. Lots of what ifs as the Shark's career wound down by this stage.

I feel for Greg never getting it done, but Jose out played the whole field down the closing stretch on one of the toughest Sundays in Masters history.The putts made by Norman on 11 and 13 produced roars that gives you chills.

Olazabal maxes out his talent with 4 on 11 (great 2 putt) , 12 bunker shot to tap in, long difficult downhill birdie putt on 13, finds green from trouble on 17. Norman couldn’t alllow himself to attack enough (as always when in contention at Masters), his 3 wood on 10 - leading to bogey, couldn’t back up his great birdie on 12 with a weak iron and bogey, and eagle in 13 with a weak right rough tee shot leading to bogey . One of his toughest losses I guess after the pain of ‘96 & the realisation that time was running out . Westwood had a similar Masters experience , leading then blowing it like this final round where he couldn’t judge the bunker shots. Tough game but great footage again.

It’s almost criminal that Davis Love III has ONLY ONE Major Championship to his name. The guy had everything, superbly talented, incredibly long off the tee, fantastic iron player, classic golf swing and a brilliant short game. I just can’t work it out??? As for Greg Norman, he’s been very unlucky in many Majors, but has often made mistakes at the wrong time in the final round to throw away his chances of adding more majors at the following tournaments, the Masters, The Open Championship and US Open.

Sad, but he got himself into contention time and time again, only once he realised he had a chance of winning , played ‘safe’ and blew it . Shame for him but great for viewers

I've watched from 1980 to this Masters here. I love this playlist but I just wish the thumbnail wasn't of the winner because I didn't know until I started watching a few weeks ago...

I went to this masters I was 20 yrs old I remember following Davis Love the III. All I can remember is how far he would drive the ball off the tee.

Can remember watching when Norman made eagle on 13 and thinking, this is it! Olazabel played so calm though, a great Masters!

Peter kostis brilliant commentary will be missed. Rare insights from most knowledgeable guy out there.

For golf fans, all the majors are great to watch but for me there's something extra special about The Master's.

Ken Venturi with a brilliant call at 15 minutes on Greg Norman's putt.

Didn't realise how tricky conditions were. And certainly couldn't remember Olszabal making such a shaky start.

Norman set himself up very nicely with that Eagle @ 13. And then, once again, could not deliver. Drives on 14 and 15, 6' birdie putt on 16, all muffed.

Exquisite touch from Jose.. when you needed all the shots... pure skill.. not like now blasts it & putt...

I just rewatched this Masters. I totally agree that none of Norman's losses can be chalked up to bad luck. His bogey on 18--after a near shank--kept him out of a playoff with Nicklaus in 1986. He was one shot ahead of both Mize and Ballesteros going into the fourth round and ended up in a playoff in 1987. And he choked away a six shot lead to Faldo to lose by five strokes in 1996. At this tournament, on the 15 hole he dumped a wedge into the sand and air mailed his shot out of the sand to bogey the hole and missed a five foot putt on 16 to go 3 strokes behind the better player (Olazabal). What does any of this have to do with luck?

Westwood really should have, after this he fell of the map for a while but later became a constant presence in majors, finishing 2nd or 3rd several times. Like Norman it just always seemed to be just out of his reach, case in point being his three-putt on the 18th at Turnberry in 2009 to miss the playoff by a shot. 2013 at Muirfield was his last great shot, entering the final round with a two shot lead, only to make a mess of the front nine Sunday.

3:11:20 - Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.

3:02:57. Nantes said that Norman’s career is far from over. But after this masters, Norman became an afterthought on the tour. He focused more on business and less on golf. It was sad that he never won this tournament.

Tough on Greg...again. Either a small drop in focus or nerves down the arms (both understandable) at the crucial moments. All in the head because the man definitely had the course mastered.

It’s actually sad and pathetic that Norman doesn’t really even take responsibility for those loses. He is on record just recently saying the Larry Mize shot and other loses weren’t planed by those players and they made bad choices that got lucky

And 18 years later El Niño got one…
