Greg Norman Blows Six-shot Masters Lead In Epic Collapse 

On April 14, 1996, third-round pioneer Greg Norman loses a six-shot lead in the last round of the Masters golf competition and completes second—one of the most exceedingly terrible falls in sports history. Scratch Faldo wins the green coat, completing five strokes in front of Norman. "I played like a lot of [expletive]," the Australian tells columnists a while later. "I simply didn't take care of business." 

In shooting a 78 in the last round, Norman had four intruder and five twofold intruder. The competition denoted the seventh time in eight significant titles that he neglected to hold a last round lead. 

Faldo, who shot a last cycle 67, accepted Norman subsequent to finishing his round. "I don't have the foggiest idea what to say to you," he told him. "I simply need to give you an embrace." 

Norman's breakdown surprised avid supporters and sportswriters the same. 

"For Greg Norman's lifetime, for yours, for mine, forever, any place golf is played and recollected, in star shops, pawn shops, storage spaces, card rooms, bars, chapels, in Augusta, Ankara, and Alaska, the 1996 Masters will be reviewed basically as the one Greg Norman blew," composed Tampa Tribune editorialist Tom McEwen. 

Composed David Casstevens of the Arizona Republic of Norman's last round: "It resembled watching a man suffocate. As Norman went to Amen Corner, and the most renowned stretch of openings in golf, you needed to toss him a rope, a life saver. Here, Greg, snatch hold." 

Norman won 91 competitions during his star vocation, including two British Opens, yet always lost a significant competition in the United States.
