The first win by an Australian at the Masters came seventeen years later when Adam Scott won in 2013. In the first round, Norman shot the second-ever 63 at the Masters (Nick Price had the first 63, in the third round in 1986). Opening with six pars, Norman birdied nine of the final twelve holes.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UUdWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6-oDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6069%2C2616719 Eugene Register-Guard Oregon (Los Angeles Times) Bonk Thomas Norman's opening 63 'one of great rounds' April 12, 1996 C1 Faldo moved into second place with a 67 on Friday and stayed in second, though six shots behind, with a scrambling par on 18 late Saturday afternoon. The par meant that Faldo would be paired with Norman on Sunday which may have proved critical. In the final round, Norman maintained a four shot lead through 7 holes, and then proceeded to lose five shots to par over the next five holes. Faldo picked up one birdie in that stretch to assume a two shot lead after Norman's tee shot on 12 found the water for a double-bogey. Any thoughts of Norman winning were dashed when his tee shot on the par three 16th also found the water. Faldo's 67 was the best round of the day while Norman's 78 was one of the worst rounds of the day, together yielding the greatest comeback/collapse in Masters history. In addition it tied the largest lead ever blown in a PGA Tour tournament. This record has yet to be broken.https://pga.com/archive/news/golf-buzz/largest-54-hole-lead-lost-in-pga-tour-history Largest 54-hole lead lost in PGA Tour golf history pga.com en 2019-11-19https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2020/apr/11/the-masters-1996-greg-norman-final-round-live The Masters 1996: Faldo triumphs as Norman blows six-shot lead - as it happened 11 April 2020 The Guardian 7 May 2020 None of the five amateurs made the cut, including 20-year-old Tiger Woods, in his second Masters.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4eJRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Rm8DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6492%2C5989646 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Parascenzo Marino Tiger misses cut, but Nicklaus believes young star will purr April 13, 1996 C2 He returned as a professional the next year and won by 12 strokes.
