Nice read, Mr. Bisher, but don’t you remember Larry being in contention in ‘94 vs. Ollie and Lehman. I believe he was tied around the 13th hole, but finished three shots back.

Mize was my first interview ever as a journalist and my favorite golfer for a long while after that incredible ‘87 tournament (Didn’t hurt that we both hailed from Augusta and I grew up a Yellow Jacket fan).

P.S. Best wishes to Severiano!

I would love to see Mize and Norman on the first page of the leader board all weekend but I don’t think their nerves will hold up as the course setup gets tougher.

Furman, The site of Seve heading back up 10 fairway is one of those moments that make the Masters a classic event like no other. Seve will always be one of my favorite golfers to watch there. I saw him do things there that I still can hardly believe. He could electrify the crowd and he would stalk that course like a beast when he was in contention. I wish he was still able to be there. There have been many golden eras in Masters lore and his time of glory is certainly one of them.

I was there yesterday….I think it might be the crowd( a generational thing), but Norman was the draw yesterday, not Tiger. It was great……

And 22 years later Greg Norman still get score better than Larry Mize! I wanted Norman to win so bad in 1987. I wanted Norman to win in 1996 but he faltered and Nick Faldo won. I wanted Norman to win in 1999 but Ballesteros got the better of him. It’s great to see them all still at it.
