1987 Masters Tournament

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 1987 Masters Tournament was the 51st Masters Tournament held from April 9-12 at Augusta National Golf Club. Larry Mize won his first, and only, major championship in a sudden-death playoff over Seve Ballesteros and Greg Norman. Norman had a birdie opportunity on the 72nd hole to win it, but fell short. Ballesteros was eliminated on the first playoff hole, and then Norman was eliminated on the second playoff hole when Mize chipped in from way off the green to win the tournament. It was one of the most miraculous shots (and endings) in major championship history. In addition, it was just one of the many "bad breaks" in Norman's career.
