On April 14, 1996, Greg Norman entered the final round of the Masters with a record-setting six-shot lead, poised to claim his first green jacket. But what followed was one of the most infamous collapses in golf history. Norman shot a disastrous 78, while Nick Faldo delivered a flawless 67 to secure his third Masters title. In this episode, we break down the drama hole-by-hole, explore the psychology of choking under pressure, and reflect on how this moment shaped both players' legacies. Tune in for an inspiring tale of triumph, heartbreak, and resilience at Augusta National.
