by Andy Farrell (Author)
Going into the final round of the 1996 Masters, Greg Norman led by six strokes. This finally looked to be the year that the 'Great White Shark' would win the green jacket. But in the final pairing of the final day Norman met the one man who always seemed to get the better of the Australian when it really mattered. What followed was one of the most excruciating collapses in sporting history. Andy Farrell brings the players, the action and the emotional turmoil vividly to life in the tale of one of the most gripping final rounds of a golf tournament ever played. Featuring first-hand accounts, blow-by-blow analysis of the action over 18 chapters, and detailed portraits of both men and their long-standing rivalry, Faldo/Norman relives the drama and heartbreak of the day when Greg Norman was once again denied victory at Augusta.
