Norman was attempting to become the first player to win the Open Championship and PGA Championship in the same year since Walter Hagen in 1924. It was accomplished the following year by Nick Price, and later by Tiger Woods in 2000 and 2006, Pádraig Harrington in 2008 and Rory McIlroy in 2014. It was the sixth major championship at Inverness, which hosted the PGA Championship in 1986 and four U.S. Opens (1920, 1931, 1957, and 1979). Norman was also the British Open champion and PGA runner-up in 1986, when Bob Tway holed out from a greenside bunker at the 72nd hole for birdie. Forced to sink his chip to tie, Norman ran it 10 ft m in past and bogeyed.http://www.invernessclub.com/History/PGAChampionships/tabid/996/Default.aspx Inverness Club History: PGA Championships July 29, 2012 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120729023024/http://www.invernessclub.com/History/PGAChampionships/tabid/996/Default.aspx July 29, 2012 Tom Watson, age 43, was in search of a PGA Championship win to complete a career grand slam. He was a stroke behind after 54 holes, but bogeyed three of the first five holes and finished four strokes back in fifth. Watson later had top ten finishes in 1994 and 2000, but never won the title.

Both narrowly missed birdie putts and tapped in for pars, and went to the next hole, the 10th at 363 yd. Again both hit the fairway and the green. Norman's downhill 20 ft 0 on birdie attempt ended 4 ft m in short, and Azinger's from 7 ft m in lipped out, and he tapped in for par. Norman's attempt to save par also rimmed out, and the playoff was over.
