NICK FALDO Faldo celebrates after holing a 15-footer for birdie on the final hole – and a five-shot victory over Greg Norman. time you execute that shot well, you really feel like you are in sync with your irons. Two back at the turn, the 10th was another big momentum changer. Greg pulled his 8-iron then jammed his chip shot. There seemed to be only one direction this was all going. He was 10-under and I was nine-under. I could see that he was in trouble. I can remember standing on the top of the hill at 11, with the green protected on the left by water, and thinking, ‘Now would not be a good time for the wheels to come off’. It’s one of the toughest shots you can face at Augusta. Negative thoughts like that are not really what you need when you’re feeling the pressure in ‘There seemed to be only one direction this was all going. He was 10-under and I was 9-under. I could see that he was in trouble’ the final round of a major, but I was constantly having to reassess what I was trying to do. I’d come into the tournament fishing about for a swing, but I’d found one and I was determined not to make a mistake. Deep down my confidence wasn’t at its best, but I knew how to prepare myself mentally before I stepped up to the ball. We stood on the tee at the treacherous 12th hole at nine-under apiece. It was really all square, though, because it had now become pure matchplay. And what do you do in matchplay when it’s your go first on a par 3? You find the green. I was nervous hitting that knock down 7-iron because you never really know what’s going to happen. I aimed for the centre and hit a decent shot. Now It was Greg’s turn and I can imagine what was going through his mind at that point. I’d lay a bet that he started by aiming at my ball, but then lost his discipline. And you just can’t do that on this hole. There are effectively three greens in play here – left, middle A YEAR LATER… A NEW STAR IS BORN Playing with Tiger in 1997, I witnessed the future of the game “I witnessed at close hand a big transition in the game when I played with Tiger in the first round at Augusta in 1997. Tigermania was just getting going and I was as interested as anybody to see him play. We both went out in 40 – four-over par – and I remember thinking, ‘What’s all the fuss about? He’s playing as badly as me!’ Then he came back in 30, and from then on we didn’t see him for dust! Tiger was similar to Jack [Nicklaus] in that he could make things happen. If a shot had to be pulled off a little bit better he could do that – at the right time. He had that amazing striking strength to hit the ball crisper and with more spin. He’s the greatest clutch putter inside 10- feet we’ve ever seen, and his scrambling for years was amazing.” 60 Golf World May 20<strong>16</strong>
