Mize masters Masters April 13, 1987 C1 Norman had barely missed a 20 ft 0 on birdie opportunity on the 72nd hole which would have won him the tournament in regulation.https://www.si.com/vault/1987/04/20/115242/my-oh-mize Sports Illustrated My, Oh Mize Ballard Sarah April 20, 1987 36−43 The playoff began on the par-4 10th hole, where the approach shots of Ballesteros and Norman came to rest on the fringe, and Mize's was on the green, below the hole. Ballesteros failed to par and was eliminated while Norman two-putted for four. Mize's uphill birdie putt came up short and he tapped in to continue with Norman. Both of their tee shots were in the fairway on the next hole, the par-4 11th, but with the pond on the left of the green, Mize's avoidant approach shot was about pin-high but well right, about 140 ft 5 from the hole. Norman then played conservatively to the right fringe, with a 50 ft 0 on putt, sensing a par could win the green jacket. But Mize chipped in for an improbable birdie 3 and a stunned Norman failed to hole his to tie, which ended the tournament.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=_65RAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5m0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=4440%2C4637285 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Magnificent shot by Mize wins Masters Parascenzo Marino April 13, 1987 23https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=uWcaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=hioEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4924%2C5123892 Milwaukee Journal Mize miracle just masterful Van Sickle Gary April 13, 1987 1C Mize was the first, and only winner of the Masters to come from Augusta.http://www.wrdw.com/home/headlines/2598236.html Archived copy February 4, 2018 December 16, 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20191216061614/https://www.wrdw.com/home/headlines/2598236.html dead It was considered one of the most miraculous shots (and endings) in major championship history, and was just one of the many "bad breaks" in Norman's career.
