The 1989 Masters Tournament was the 53rd Masters Tournament held from April 6–9 at Augusta National Golf Club. Nick Faldo won the first of his three Masters titles, the second of his six major championships. After a third round 77 (+5), he shot a final round 65 (–7) and won with a birdie on the second sudden-death playoff hole over Scott Hoch. The 1989 Masters is remembered for Hoch missing a two-foot putt on the first playoff hole that would have won him the tournament. Greg Norman continued his misfortunes at the Masters with a bogey on the 72nd hole to miss a playoff by a stroke, similar to 1986. Third round leader Ben Crenshaw also bogeyed the final hole to tie Norman for third.
Famous quotes containing the word masters:
“If there is a species which is more maltreated than children, then it must be their toys, which they handle in an incredibly off-hand manner.... Toys are thus the end point in that long chain in which all the conditions of despotic high-handedness are in play which enchain beings one to another, from one species to another—cruel divinities to their sacrificial victims, from masters to slaves, from adults to children, and from children to their objects.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
