to 2 under for the tournament he bogeyed the 18th this morning here's the leaderboard Seve Ballesteros Scott Hoch tied for the lead Mike Reed steady golf thus far alone in 3rd Faldo and Crenshaw at -2 and Paul Azinger playing the 9th right now is it even par Crenshaw finished his round and went back to his room and napped from 11 to 1:30 this afternoon getting ready for the final round and in quest of his second master's championship just off the green to the right side so Crenshaw off the green hope with a sizable putt Bobby Jones once wrote I love fishing and hunting and trapped shooting and ping-pong and chess and pool and billiards and driving a motor car and at times I love golf when I can get the shots going somewhere near right there was never a golfer like him in his prime if you pick Jones against the field you'd have been right more often than not he was 28 years old when he won the four major titles of his day what he did was so astounding they didn't even know it was the Grand Slam until that phrase became popular years later and when it was over he retired and built a golf course [Music] [Music] it was as unique as the man behind it and though it's tournament decides no national championship it has long been recognized as one of sports major titles and a part of the modern Grand Slam the course is the Augusta National the tournament is the Masters cBS started televising it in 1956 but the first live drama we captured was in 1960 when Arnold Palmer came to the 18th hole tied with Ken Venturi here come the five or six iron the ball on the green and within approximately three feet of the pin a magnificent shot by Arnold Palmer in the history of the tournament no one had ever come to 18 needing birdie to win and made 128 years went by and sure others birdied 18 but never for an outright win and then last year Sandy Lyle came to 18 tied with Mark Calcavecchia [Music] watch this dobri and watch this goes [Applause] like Palmer in 1960 it was birdie to win [Music] [Applause] Bobby Jones also wrote this you learn that your most formidable adversary is yourself you win or lose according to your ability to withstand the pressure welcome to the Augusta National Golf Club and the 1989 Masters back at the 6th hole Ben Crenshaw second shot oh and about three feet coming back very treacherous sixth hole elevated green there is Scott Hoch who as we said is playing in his sixth Masters championship Ben Crenshaw on his 18th Byron Nelson birdied this hole 77 year old Byron Nelson on Thursday when he and Gene Sarazen and Sam Snead opened the 1989 Masters Hoke has not played particularly well here in his previous five appearances missed the cut last year his highest finish ever as a matter of fact was a ton 27th maybe three let's go quickly to nine Nick Faldo 2-under and only two behind stay with us back to six Scotto for birdie so he'll remain tied for the lead with Citi Ballesteros Dallas terraced with an amazing start today birdies at 1 2 4 and 5 [Applause] Ben who was acknowledged as perhaps the best putter playing the game today just three putted v olds was on the front edge of the green what by the hole and missed a four footer coming back that was his only bogey of the day in the afternoon round he had that bogey at 18 this morning Crenshaw might need something in the 60s today because of the pace that's been set by Ballesteros oak Reed Faldo four previous times he said final rounds in the 60s here the last time was 21 in 1984 got it so Crenshaw stays too off the pace at minus-2 the lead hill by Ballesteros and Scott Hoch CBS Sports is proud to present the 1989 Masters Tournament so this is Augusta National where nature's soft hand has sculpted a harmony of beauty and color it is a landscape sprinkled with azaleas and dog woods that make this course a sight that must be seen as well as play and this is the final round of a tournament unlike any other the Masters but the picture painted here has been altered by an unkind weather the first three days everything from lightning and thunder wind rain and cold right now temperatures in the low 60s and has just started the rain within the last 15 minutes in Augusta right now in the final round Seve Ballesteros on his 32nd birthday today throwing a surprise on the rest of the party he is tied for the lead with Scott Hoch Mike Reid is one back Nick Faldo was two over after 54 holes he's 4-under on this final round through 8 holes to move within 2 Ben Crenshaw has dropped the shot after the third round he's also at 2-under Paul Azinger making a move at even par Jody Mudd is well it even along with Mark O'Meara and Tom kite Jeff Sluman chip Beck and Greg Norman Norman birdied the first hole to move back to even but bogeyed the third that dropped back to +1 10 greens at that mark as well Lee Trevino putting together a good round here in the final round as his Fred Couples who at one point was even par before bogeys at 12 and 13 he was 6 under on his round at one point including a 31 on the front and Jack Nicklaus 2-under thus far on the fourth round but now let's go back out to Pat Summerall for the coverage at number 9 Larry Mize and Nick Faldo and Faldo just two behind as the rain I'm sure you can hear starts to felt down and very difficult week weather-wise Faldo the expression says it he remains too under let's go back down to Jim Nantz and Thank You Pat and welcome everybody to CBS Sports final-round coverage of the 53rd masters you know it's just a real honor to be sitting alongside the man who won the 1973 British Open was in contention so many times here at Augusta Tom Weiskopf and Tom weather-permitting we are shaping up to have another classic masters finish and again Jim the weather is changing and it is going to have an effect on how they play the backside I think this afternoon seve who is playing the 8th Hall is in complete control of his game and has got it really going let's go out to the 8th thought with Gary McCord thank you Jim 70 for his birdie would have been the 5th of the day he birdied as Verne Lundquist said one to four and five also this morning finishing his round up he birdied 14 15 and 17 so that's 7 birdies out of 13 holes on his birthday and that's quite a present and let's go forward to 9 Gregg doorman [Music] [Music] become much more deliberate yesterday made a run of things and today the magic hasn't come together back to eight for his par remains at four hundred and let's go back to supper Ben Crenshaw that's his second shot with just a short iron to this 360 yards straightaway [Applause] [Music] [Applause] uncharacteristic three-putts on the fifth green he's been so much in command of himself all week expect him to be there to finish Scott Hoch has a similarly short iron shot you only see the bottom the top half I beg your pardon of the flagstick here it's a little shallow Plateau green with those bunkers virtually surrounding it and today the flagstick is placed six yards from the front of the green to the left-hand side it has caused some players to have fits this week notably Greg Norman made a double bogey here in his first round and you think where he might be but for that Scott hope then that's a hundred yards exactly well he's got a much more difficult part down the slope and back to the studio and Jim Nantz all right well thank you Ben and this was early now in the fourth round seve at the second level of the par 5 in his third shot Tom Weiskopf did not clear the bunker had it not a good shot Jim now he's put himself in a very difficult position on a fairly easy hold a birdie today and this is the kind of stuff of which masters are won and legends are built a birdie at the 2nd hole for seve after having already birdied the first hole his room after a car on the third hole we pick up seven on the fourth green the par three time this is a very long par-3 215 yards and he played his tee shot to within 40 feet of the hole not a makeable putt by any means but watch this looked like Ben Crenshaw on 10 back in 1984 when he won across the green in another birdie for Ballesteros and now at the 5th hole difficult par for another birdie effort here for Ballesteros from about 35 feet and said he is tied for the lead at the moment with Scott Hoch Ballesteros and Hope at 4-under par one shot back is Mike Reed to back Nick Faldo and Ben Crenshaw all near the top in the final round at the Masters Ballesteros and Hoch tied at - for my greatest 3-under Nick Faldo and Ben Crenshaw - - and Jody mutters even and that's the way it stands as we are in the final round let's go out to seven and the birdie part of Scott Hoch down the slope that's very disappointing but Fanny Crenshaw makes the birdie moves to 3-under par just one off the pace and we'll go forward to the ninth Greg Norland for birdie just a moment ago that brings him to even so again the changes on top that leaderboard Ballesteros and hope at minus-4 Crenshaw Reed at 3:00 Nick Faldo at minus 2 Jody mutters even as Greg Norman Mark O'Meara and Tom kite join him at that figure Jeff Sluman and chipped back at +1 along with Ken green and Trevino who just finished +2 in couples coming up 18 at the moment was frost Watkins and Jack Nicklaus the six-time champion and here at 9 can green well done the umbrellas are out again as the rain helps down ballesteros 120 yards away amazing touch amazing concentration as you can see this gallery the lining the fairway at 9:00 in a very astute gallery it is Seve I know and well he should wonderful shot and again look at the leaderboard that has Ballesteros and hope to top both at minus 4 then Crenshaw my read at 3-under just one behind Ballesteros read and Hoch now all at minus four we asked Tom Weiskopf who's down in our studio question Ben Crenshaw seemed to be in total control of this tournament as they completed the third round this morning how does it affect him to see these guys approaching and catching and almost taking over Tom Petty you must remain patient and you can't let someone else affect your game you have to stay in your plan I think number seven was a very significant hole for Ben because he had not played well up until that hole now this has turned things around and given a little bit of a momentum back to Ben because he's going to play to potentially sound birdie holes at 8 & 9 for him he's in the driver's seat still because he's such an excellent putter and he has played so well but the first six holes it was it was a little shaky but that's that's natural there's a lot of pressure on these players he just can't afford like all of them not to make a stupid mistake Tom what about that delay Verne Lundquist that was saying before that he had he had gone home and taken a two and a half hour nap what what sort of effect will that have well you know he had to get up early this morning Pat and you build up just to finish your third round as he did and he didn't finish positively with a bogey at the last so I think what he wanted to do is just forget about what happened and then get his game plan going and dream about making birdies and eagles I guess but I think the complexion of the day is gonna change with this rain Pat right now here's Kim green you see Ballesteros watching could help him again the difficulties if you were with us yesterday of keeping the equipment dry and keeping your concentration and not being too worried about the weather and the playing conditions Ballesteros almost on the same line as Ken green this would be for the lead for him twice a champion and perhaps in the eyes of many the world's premier player never never adapt the leader Seve Ballesteros and the gallery moves to watch the leader s Ballesteros hits 4/10 he is -5 read ho cat - 4 Crenshaw 3 Nick Faldo 2 and Greg Norman even amazing when you get to a championship arena the champions appear atop the board Ballesteros at minus five read four with Hoch and then Crenshaw and Faldo and we go to 11 another man enjoying a good day hazing her for birdie so with that Azinger pulls to even par 3 under on his round today just 5 back as we go 4 to 16 that's the tee shot of Jody mud on its way he's just missed a very clear birdie opportunity at the 15th but he's got a very clear one here at the 16th and he is at level par 5 under for his round today as we go back to the 10th on the fairway Mark O'Meara is set to play mark is even par today 1 over for the tournament looked as if he might make a little move and then slowed down even par yesterday good swing boy what a good swing the pen today is about 19 steps back from the front edge you put mark at about 185 perfect pin position as you saw all right excuse me perfect position where mark drove his ball right in the middle Norman set to play from approximately 170 probably 7-iron good shot for Gregg bringing in real hi it'll draw on the ball he's got these new waggles going for him seems to set him in pretty comfortably though I could see how - Gregg drove the ball right up in the air right under the hole Gregg wants this tournament you know he's he's just grinding to get him in the hole will go to eight and now the third shot of Ben Crenshaw one birdie one bogey currently one shot behind two shots behind Seve Ballesteros Ben's probably got about 60 70 yards taking that up real high beautiful shot right on anika flagstick and now earlier Scott Hoch best a little knockdown shot and you can see where his ball lands and that will also be a birdie putt Scott Hoch one shot behind let's go to 16 the last two holes he could set an early target that could make them all quake a little and how he'll regret he had no more than a six footer at the 15th for another birdie he won under par back to the ninth still surveying Mike Reed and Tom kite that's Mike Reed waiting four time kite who's over in the woods to bring things together and he hasn't quite reached his decision yet perhaps he's asking for a ruling back at eight and now the last twosome of the day Scott Hoch with birdies on 2 & 5 start off at 200 parties now - for one shot back of seve and we're getting real real close to have enough fun back 9 where this whole tournament starts look down this leaderboard and boy there's a lot of different personalities line up seve in the lead tied with Mike Reid who is so so quiet Scott Hoch who is up and down Ben Crenshaw very consistent Nick Faldo very consistent player and you can see this -7 on the par 5 Scott is is a fairly long player he hits the ball very high and cuts it it's at left to right so we can watch him on this backside you know especially a 13th hole which calls for a hook very good wedge player hot and cold putter if he can get it going he can really burn yeah hasn't been in this position too often he's six master she hasn't shown much before let's go to 10 real quick Mark O'Meara with about a 30-foot putt straight up the hill and braked his left get up get up now we'll go back to eight Scott Hoch for a tie for the lead you misread it when I go back and look at the line like that it wasn't a miss head it was just a Miss read just enough rain to dampen these greens up to make them so the players can go ahead and attack them I think we'll see some low scores up and I'm getting harder rain Ben Crenshaw should get a pretty good line from that putt if he already doesn't know it course Carl Jackson his caddie has been here he and Ben have been together for 14 years so they know what they're doing they'll both pick out their line they'll go back and they'll talk about it back at Ben's ball wouldn't be nice to caddy for Ben Crenshaw and line these putts up have this guy okay Ben how about three and a half centimeters outside the left edge and a man can hit it there just about every time there he is Wayne as putter currently at minus three two shots behind seve this is an uphill putt so it will not get away from then as far as the speed is concerned so he'll are pretty good to go at it [Applause] one shot behind our liver Sylvie Ballesteros has been crenshaw as he goes to the ninth hole and let's go find seve and think he's in trouble 10th hole Greg Norman ready to go for birdie that's me at least two masters I can think of in 86 and 87 he played this hole for over par he got one back this time we'll go back to 11 second shot for Nick Faldo way back in the fairway he hit a tree off the tee we go back to 10 back couple in the hill you see seve obviously he turned the ball just a little too quickly to the left and hit the tree and just dropped down in some rather bare ground there seems to be looking around for a place to drop the ball I would be curious to know what the ruling is it's not a a paved cart path Tom Weiskopf you have any thoughts on that that looks to be just trotting down to me yeah he's a little bit unlucky obviously with his lies Bob I would like to bring up this one point though the two times that seve has won the Masters he has played the backside very poorly that's Pat Summerall number nine though first that's Mike Reed he was a hundred and forty-five yards out good shot what you would expect of my green back to ten go ahead tom with your thought on seve on the back nine well they never forget about those things Bob and you know he's played so well now he's hit a very poor tee shot probably quick hooked it or pulled it off the tee to the left all right it's trying to figure out worries wants to get this next ball Worthen he can play to the green because he can't even come close to getting the ball down in front of the green because of the big bunker at the end of the fairway so he's going to leave himself a very very long third shot right I know I'm sitting here on this 10th hole the last few years SEVIS made a lot of bogeys on this hole to lose as a matter of fact of course he made the one to lose to Larry Myers in the playoff in 87 now he's getting a ruling and yes the only thing that I can think that he might get a drop from would be the unusual damage okay roll Steve Melnyk what about this ruling here please Bob they have a local rule which they observe here and they Tom hit it on the head it is for unusual damage caused by spectators walking in that area so I think seve recognized that ins taking advantage of it I know we play something you know similar to say truck tire damage or some of that nature during a tournament when you have instance to have heavy vehicles out on the course and whatnot there you see the rules official pointing to the nearest relief for seven now Ken green is questioning this was Kim doesn't seem to be very pleased with the ruling there you see the the graphic and there's SEVIS drive he just hooked it drive is approximately 250 yards and so that leaves seve a lot of work I wouldn't be guessing here but I'll say he'll lay it up short of the bunker of course if he's known been known to invent some rather terrific recovery shots pondering this I I know he's entitled to just the nearest relief right there trying to figure out what kind of shot do I want to play do I want a gamble going straight ahead or do I want to pitch it out I think that the rules official has just spoken to him in reference to that he's taking a little bit of time and the rules official says I think you need to start playing sure seve is saying to himself and the rules official uh wait a minute now partner I'm trying to win win the Masters here we were talking a while ago Tom Weiskopf about how would how would Ben Crenshaw think about guys going past him and and I was looking today just today since we played and they had to finish up but said he's 8-under and Ben is won over so that's a nine shot swing Tom Weiskopf you think maybe maybe SEVIS asked for another ruling per chance Bob that's his prerogative you can ask for another ruling if you don't agree with the ruling that you've been given the first time now if that happens that official the first officials ruling doesn't make any difference that's that's voided he must then live with the decision of the second rule he can't make a choice of which is best right Mike Reid yes my Creed is now tied for the lead again the rain continues but Seve Ballesteros has asked for another ruling and his Tom Weiskopf just pointed out when the second officials get there or official he must live with whatever they say in the meantime back at nine Tom Kyte he's not through yet even far [Applause] the intensity of the the rains picked up a little bit and the difficulty of keeping equipment dry and concentrating on the work ahead yes perhaps becoming a little bit more difficult although when you get in situation like a situation like this you're sort of oblivious bogey for kite plus one he is and the meantime Ben Crenshaw and Scott Hoch let's go back to 10 gentlemen on your left is Michael Byrne Alec from the RNA and of course he's the captain of the RA and the members are the member of the rules official there all right RNA of course is the ruling body along with the USGA the ruling body of golf back to number nine with Ben Crenshaw his second shot [Applause] and nicely done he 145 yards back Scott Hoch is playing with him we go back to 10 so the decision is that sevens in fact not allowed to move the ball I don't yeah I'm not particularly sure what happened here he put a tee down to mark his intent of nearest relief and they did not give it to him so I think Ken green was right after all she's just going to chip out you see the ball right out in the middle of the fairway it's still safe par from there those are those are the kinds of things you must do sometimes you must bite your bite your lip and say I made a mistake I'll chip it out walk right down there and hit my 9-iron four feet from the hole make a par ken green set to play from approximately 185 pin right in the center of the green today and Ken's left it short from the bottom of the green and make a little birdie putt however Ken's having her rather boring morning here he's at 1-over par will go forward to 11 Greg Norman after a big tee shot here about a hundred eighty yards to the flagstick just four shots out of the lead norman's birdied the last two holes good play here at 11 with a flagstick hard against the pond on the left the last thing you want to do here at Amen corners make a mistake as we go to 9 Scott Hoch just one behind it's got 125 yards away and a fine shot back to 10 Seve trying to decide on his yardage he has approximately 110 to the front edge most important it's amazing how this man can make the mistakes that we've seen him in four days knocking it into water at 13 playing it hitting it too easy back in the water for putting and tied for the lead it shows you what persistence this young man has desire of courses must be part of the story loves the Golf Course loves the tournament loves to play taking little deep breath there and a big exhale wants to make a par he's lift it out to the right and short so rather tough par coming up for seve seve anumber 10 do not have a love affair going bogeyed this hole a lot of times we'll go back to number 9 and the last two of the day Crenshaw and Hoke umbrellas out the rain is steady but not too hard at the moment back to 12 valve oh he shot 165 yards flagstick back right good play Faldo coming off a bogey at 11 at 1-under as we go back to 9 and Crenshaw ready somewhat uncharacteristic he does unusually I guess it's correct to say that he misread it he doesn't usually do that now Hoke Ballesteros and Mike Reid tied at minus 5 but seve in trouble at 10:00 time may not last Hoch with a chance to go 5-under three or tied stock hope ballesteros and read all at minus-5 Crenshaw just one behind back to Tim said he's been taking a good long look at this his bows not actually on the green but he has no real no real problem with the putting surface Sir Tom Weiskopf you have a comment on the ruling well what we've been told is Ken green had a very similar situation at the second Hall and was denied relief and it is his responsibility to protect the field and if he thinks something is not right then he can ask for a decision yes I totally agree with that and we can confirm named green did ask for the second ruling he told the rules official that he wanted someone else to come over and have a look at SEVIS problem so seve will make a bogey and drop back to 4-under it's not often you see a circumstance like that but Tom Weiskopf is right you owe it to the rest of the field to question whether or not that particular official made the correct call even in lieu of what Steve Melnyk mentioned in the unusual damage gangrene putting now for birdie and that short I'm not sure that well I am sure that ken is not happy with what he had to do there but he felt certain that he must do it he taps into his par remain won over those are hard things to do Tom Weiskopf on you you feel like you're calling a ruling against your fellow competitor well but the decision was consistent and that's what I liked about it I've noticed too today that SEVIS has that putter much more level on the ground then he had the other day when we saw him cutting with the toe way off the ground he was making all those bogeys so Mike Reed our co-leaders 5-under along with Scott Hoch and seve with that bogey falls one shot behind tied with Ben Crenshaw [Music] we are back at the Masters in the final round co-leader Scott Hoch and Mike Reed Reed in his 13th year as a pro he's won twice and Scott Hoch he's been a pro since 1979 out of Wake Forest to former runner-up as the US Amateur and runner-up at the British Amateur and Scott Hoch has won three times as a pro this is Mike Reed at 10 and let's go out there again with Bob Murphy my pal radar we call him that cuz he hits it straight down the middle right on the green and today making a few putts and another good shot oh this one's release though safely on however mike has really played well he made two birdies finishing this morning early and now followed that up with four birdies here this afternoon there you see Mike scorecard on the frontside birdied number two bogey three good birdie at 6 a hard par-3 and birdie at 8 and 9 and we'll go to 12 Faldo for birdie well you hear Andi progr his caddy urging it on but falda who at one time looked as though he were here to stay at the lead still only four back last year had the best record among all players in the major championships and let's go to 18 and that Jody Mudd started the date plus five is now 1-under and he has this putt left for birdie he came from nobody mentioned and now he's in the red figures 210 back on the tee Scott Hope had a good little go at that one and it's just perfect right down the middle fall right into the flat 170 yards from the front edge beautiful drive and will go forward to 12 on the tee shot 165 yards away he made two here yesterday superb shot once again Greg Norman - under par on his round today 1-under at all four back and he has excited this crowd number of years with his brilliant play during the final round 12th the gorgeous middle leg of a men corner here Mark O'Meara continues his steady play he's even par today one over and all good play nevertheless it was Herbert Warren Wynn who gave the name Amen Corner to this wonderful stretch of holes in 1958 let's go to 18 and Jody Mudd moment ago for birdie back to 10 back on the tee and Crenshaw good hole for Ben I love Ben - that's what you call playing partner golf you can have a little walk and talk to each other back to 18 Jody Mudge par putt so he shoots 66 and goes to 1-under outstanding round to 11 Ken green second shot on the way difficult flagstick for Ken's left-to-right shot and he took the safe way out here it's an intimidating shot from on top of that hill by a starless now after a long drive down the heart of the fairway he plays right-to-left I wouldn't be surprised to see him make a good play at the flagstick the youngest winner here in 1980 in 1983 when he won he got off to that blistering start he was 4-under par through the first four holes and nearly destroyed the field but there you see Mike Reed and Scott Hoch - unlikely but yet - worthy leaders at 5-under par they enjoy that thin one-shot margin over two former winners Ballesteros and Crenshaw you see how the players have played Amen Corner Amen Corner consist of holes 11 12 and 13 11 and 12 you simply try to make par and at the par-5 13th you gamble it hopes to make birdie or better you look at that host of four players read easily the shortest of the foursome and yet his plate Amen Corner the best of them all this week highest eros probably a 5-iron starts it right as if to hit a high draw home safely no mistake here my Creed at 5-under PAR joined at the top by Scott Hoch at that number they enjoy at one shot margin over Seve Ballesteros and Ben Crenshaw [Music] well they said Mike Reed could never win at Firestone the site of the World Series of golf it's a long hitters course but last year Mike Reed won there in a sudden-death playoff against Tom Watson and this is Reed at 10 for a par Bob Murphy well I'd say flea and Mike says oh oh what a story this will be one of the absolute nice men on the tour just rolling with the punches Scott Hoch tied for the lead his last win was in 1980 for five years Bob Murphy Scott from his leaning there appears to have pulled it and yes he did but not bad he's got about 35 feet and a very makable putt slightly uphill from there tough approach shot this because your feet are below the ball which normally gives you the feeling you're gonna hit a draw so many times we see the players leave it way out to the right Crenshaw needs to make a move now forward to 12 Greg Norman to pull within three so many people have missed it on that side back to 10 been from approximately a hundred and eighty yards probably a 5-iron good shot for Ben draw right up in the air and good birdie position under the hole approximately 20 feet you can slide back to 5-under so we've got a lot of action here on 10 is we predicted earlier in the day we'll go back to Jim so four players right at the top of the leaderboard read and hope tied for the lead Ballesteros and Crenshaw shot back and then another three shots behind that Faldo and Greg Norman as he approaches the 13th the par 5 where he could pick up a birdie Jody mud after the 66 at 1-under par Becca neighs and Gary are even par for the tournament couples 67 today Ken green at +1 Jose Alonso ball fellow countrymen of Seve Ballesteros at +2 and let's go back out to seve at the 11th all with Steve Millen all right Jim about 30 feet for birdie ballesteros who has the third lowest scoring average in masters history behind only Watson and Nicklaus and whose game is perfectly suited to the wonderful subtleties here at Augusta National as we go forward to 13 Nick Faldo shot from 230 yards and right out of the blueprint a hanging light takes it left to right and what's with the Swale and the slopes do right here he's 45 feet away catches the slope brings it back in his face now with only a 15 footer for an eagle that could put him three under par a very gutsy play from the fairway back to 11 now you know ken Green has gives you the feeling it almost has a disdain for the traditions here to Gus but if you look at his caddy Pitt's caddy bib number three which means he was the third player to register here that would tell you otherwise so with that car he remains that one over incidentally the number one caddie bid is reserved for the defending champion each year and speaking of Champions there's a six-time champion right there at the 17th hole Ballesteros gets what he wanted when he stepped on the eleventh day and that is car Ballesteros who seems to almost play the game with a combination of fear and arrogance we saw him yesterday fritter away shots today he's almost taken the course and by the throat in is just shaking it as we go to 17 Jack Nicklaus second shot 140 yards out currently at three over for the tournament 1-under for today's round pin is back right [Music] safely on with an uphill putt of 2530 feet for birdie for jack [Music] and back to the temp Scott Hoch who in the morning paper said it he was just a bit nervous at Augusta this year but he says if I get out there and get going I I played myself right out of that nervous tension so between finishing yesterday's around this morning and the fourth round now he's made five birdies that'll ease the tension oh good putt real nice putt you don't want to get too brave on those when sometimes here especially here to gust on these fast greens you get it uphill and you say boy I can make this one I can give it a good roll and you rip it three or four feet past and your legs begin to tremble it's got playing very well good iron player an exceptional iron player said he's driving the ball better this week that puts him in play and Crenshaw getting ready to putt here we'll see Ben's front nine bogey at number five where he 3-putted and then a nice birdie at seven and eight boy I remember a putt Ben Crenshaw made on number 10 green 1984 when he won the tournament if it was a foot it was 80 feet up and around and what a stroke Pudwill fall slightly right-to-left for Ben to tie for the lead just got it outside and didn't break at all you can see been talking to himself a little bit there then I'll do that we'll go to 13th watching Nick Faldo walk from the cup to the ball in it's under 15 feet and when you see player like Faldo norman of Ballesteros you see difference between conservative and aggressive he is not really using the bullsááá anymore he has changed putters this change is set to go 3-under par second Eagle of the day backs off for a second the first eagle was by Ian Wu's Minh and Crenshaw made par 10 but when you see the players out there father was 230 yards and you can say the difference between conservative and aggressive players conservative players will stay out there and say I better lay up I might make six and aggressive players say I've got to go for it I need eagle and he's played left to right he played absolutely a perfect shot and there's Faldo's front 9:30 to bogey at 11 this for Eagle don't give the hole away it'll stay out to the right that ball was shelved a little bit cut because that ball does not moved that way so it's a disappointing if you might say birdie the Eagle would have put him three under and two shots out of the lead as we go to 17 Jack Nicklaus and this is for birdie maybe absolutely and who will forget when he thrilled us all here three years ago in 1986 as he took the lead for the first time and we go to 12 Ballesteros tee shot taking the conservative route the safe route just puts it on the grain he's content to try to two-putt from about 60 feet you have to admire Ballesteros you know his ego wants to fire at the flagstick you know his game plan was to always aim left 86 87 he was in the same position as he played Amen Corner did the same thing then here he is just one shot behind Reed and Hoke Ballesteros tied with Crenshaw it for under fouled over that birdie at 13 pulls within three Greg Norman still hanging in there at 1-under par just four back a games most exciting player seems to be a constant threat and have a permanent place on the leaderboard here at the Masters therein lies the problem of having such a long approach but he simply took five off his scorecard by aiming left the 13 greg norman drove his ball up into the gallery in the trees and didn't have any chance to reach the green laid up and he's now just about 65 70 yards and this is the most important shot in the back nine being one under par he has to make birdie to be able to get himself in position to make a strong finish he has to make four here and he can put some bite on the ball late it'd be long he hit that ball a little bit fat and that's why the ball did not back up and he will be about 20 feet so with the water and being that close it's very difficult to put spin on the ball from that close specially on a downhill lie as we go back to 12 oh we have a minute the 12th grain has gone from being one of the worse to perhaps the best on the course in 1981 that completely dug up the grain and installed subsurface pipes they actually control the soil temperature with underground pipes the soil temperature this week at about 70 degrees traditionally has the morning shade gets a lot of frost but they don't have that problem anymore now Ballesteros to remain within one well you have to admire his conservative play here it's paid off as he's part 11 he's part 12 just as he wanted now he can take his chances at 13 and 15 coming home so Ken green with his par here at 12 remains that one over my crate still hangs and they're tied with Scott Hoch at 5-under Mike Reid may be the most overlooked and underrated player in the field this week this was read for birdie at 11 just enough moisture on the greens that perhaps it's loaded up in the 1976 US Open at Atlanta Athletic Club 18-year old Mike Reid had the first round lead with 67 let's go forward to 13 your first look at the 13th hole from the tee shot zeliha is on the right area come around the bend just to the back of the 12th green across a creek fairway slopes from right to left and there's a last pint on the right hand side of the fairway is the target with a slight draw Creek protects the entire left hand side cross it in front of the green into the right hand side so aim at that lone pine there right to left not quite getting a run today that they have and past because of it fairways are soft but that makes the green soft and easier to pitch to Ballesteros now who has not played this hole that well he has played at six for six drove in the trees yesterday and the rain was coming down right now with where he is playing just like Norman normally hit it too far right he has to protect it going left here a hole with his length for is a score he's looking at looks actually to the right side a little bit to me and that will will not have a chance to go for the green those trees back there you're looking from front tree it's 210 yards as we go back to 11 Ben Crenshaw from about a hundred 85 yards out that started well right and brought it in nicely good play meanwhile here at 12 my Creed steady doesn't make any mistakes doesn't beat himself in fact my Creed and his third appearance here at Augusta he's never made the cut until this week who'd have thought it's over and who'd have thought that Scott Hoch would be tied the lead with Mike Reid hope now actually probably having the easier of the two shots playing away from the water if there is such a thing as an easy second shot at 11 one of the few balls today we've seen past the flagstick 214 second shot of the elegant Englishman Nick Faldo 405 yard dogleg to the Left par 4 Oh Oh beautiful golf shot right there Nick follow a 2-under par three shots behind our two leaders Nightbreed in Scott Hoch beautiful golf shot this pin today is cut in the back left and let's go to 18 Jack Nicklaus from 175 yards you look at history Senate blocked it out six times the champion the only man to successfully defend the championship unhappy at the moment 213 Norman moments ago and I told you how important it was he needed this is it enough Norman makes birdie goes at 2-under and don't sell them out yet the leader right now go leaders Mike Reid and Scott Hoch at 5-under par Ballesteros at four Ben Crenshaw at four a lot of golf left [Music] neither Mike Reid nor Scott Hoch has ever won a major before right behind them Ballesteros and Crenshaw both winners here at Augusta National Seve twice in pursuit of a third green jacket Ben Crenshaw won here in 1984 and Tom Weiskopf how about the birdie by Greg Norman what does that do for him now at this point as he heads to the 14th tee Jim big left there because it didn't appear that Greg was going to make four on an easy hole for him today you know but that should give him a real shot in the arm especially with 15 coming up but he still has to play one shot one hole at a time he can't get ahead of himself and he can't rely on the other people to make mistakes he has to make it happen now let's go out to Steve Melnyk at 12 all right Jim Mike Reed who has a wonderful short game as you might imagine with his lack of length he needs to have a good short game but his game is predicated on his accuracy and he simply doesn't make any mistakes he's very organized watch out watch out Crenshaw backs away from this putt for birdie at 11 is Reed's ball finds the bottom of the cup at 12 as we go to 18 the acclaim for the best that says it all [Applause] Jack said earlier this week that he first came here when he was 19 years old and now I'm 49 and I still feel the same way back over to 14 it was migrated charges into the lead Nick Faldo with a birdie putt of about four feet you know I played outside of the hole hole was about where his hands are right there bingo right in the middle and he brought his 13 and 14 steps to the par-5 15th or three under par chasing Mike Reid by three strokes just got a brand-new putter and he's only made six birdies with that new putter as you can see the 14th hole 46 birdies 46 bogeys pretty much apart all and the 14th hole plays it's a psychological bridge I think between 13 and 15 to optimistic birdie holes this hole you just try not to make a mistake we've only had about seven birdies nikka's our seventh birdie of the day it's wet and so the ball is stayin on this top shelf which they rebuilt last year 87 champion Larry Mize par for the day that is for a par and he remained a +3 as Mike Reed stepped up and taken the lead and now let's see what he can do with it coming in the par fives and let's go to 13th hole on a par 5 Kenny Ballesteros his third shot 70 yards high and to the left I don't know that will not spin back and that is a little longer than Greg Norman's so you're looking at Mike Reed amazing my grade went to 6-under par with that little chip in at 12 Scott Hoch at 5 2 players Bella stares and Crenshaw at 4 Nick Faldo at 3 and Greg Norman at 2 and I'll tell you this it's not over this is amazing that must be Sunday and it must be the back nine at Augusta National there's a shortest hitter on well not on the tour they say about it but he's a naughty in the part of Norman of Ballesteros and Crenshaw but he won the World Series at Firestone which a long ago of course but if he goes for the green and two I want to check his diet I would say here to be conservative enough to put it to the right side don't fool what the creek take his layup and go for his pitch which is the way he's going to play he is 8-under on par 5s and if he's not long you're not supposed to do that beautiful sight this 13th Oh beautiful as we go to 14 and here's one of the longest guys on the tour chasing one of the shortest guys Greg Norman 145 yards out you can see that pin is sitting just to the right of our TV camera there's that pine tree to the left which if a pulled shot hits it difficult good shot it's going right of the flag and I'll go down in this other Bowl there's a shelf and then it goes feeds down into the first Bowl a little bit farther goes to another ball as this is getting very interesting all the thugs trying to chase a little Mike Reid and let's go to 13 Ballesteros taking a good look at this again as I say with his length and plays the ball from right to left he has not played 13 very well but we'll go to 11 quickly Crenshaw with his solid par here at 11 tremendous respect for the difficulty of this hole to 13 Ballesteros stalking around Ken green leaning on his putter who is on the green and to played almost the identical shot that Nick Faldo played from the same position he was 230 and he put a cut shot in there and he is even closer than Nick Faldo was what are you waiting oak with his par so he remains just one back of my Creed the 13 Greg Norman the only one to read this green correctly moves a little bit to the right downhill not quite as fast as it has been because the dampness for birdie it's not gonna reach it he'll leave himself a foot-and-a-half that's downhill and he has head is difficult the other day when for pudding and misses some shortcuts but he has been very brilliant on his pudding today let's go to 18 Pat Summerall Jack Nicklaus disappointing that were for claw and Nikolas shoots 71 good tournament nevertheless finishes three over good effort back to 12 Scott Hoch may be thought of as being in an unfamiliar position but he was very much in the title hunt at the 87 PGA came to the last hole needing birdie to time that three putting but he's been there before he shows no signs of backing off now probably a 6-iron he has the perfect shake shot for this hole left to right let's go to the studio and Jim Nantz all right Steve a little more on our leader Mike Reid he's 34 years old lives in Provo Utah he graduated from BYU where he played on the golf team with Jim Nell for John Foat and Pat McGowan back for his first 11 years on the tour he never was in the winner's column and trouble finding that first victory but finally in the fall of 1987 he wanted to son and he followed that up last year with a victory at the very prestigious World Series of golf he credits his brother Bill Reed as the greatest help to his game and Bill is the professional at the TPC course in Scottsdale the side of the Phoenix Open let's go to 12 now the man who redefines the term traditionalist Crenshaw 6-iron get out vol Jackson asked you forward to get down that's way in the back of the bunker that was a shot that should have gone left to right and instead actually came over it so Crenshaw will need all his resources to make par here but my Creed Joe is a one-shot argent over Scott Hoch [Music] the Masters is being led at the moment by slender Mike Reid a man at 6-under par one up on Scott Hoch two behind Ballesteros and Crenshaw and Tom Weiskopf what is Mike Reid experiencing right now as he approaches 13 well he is that let's go to 13 with Ken Venturi first jim mike reid is laying up he's 240 yards and hit that fat it's gonna leave himself 90 yards or better to the hole with a hanging lie and i would imagine if all being equal hit will not be sure the hole let's go back to the studio right now all right Kenny Tom you were talking about Mike Reid right now Jim he is under enormous pressure and he's got to make some very difficult decisions in the remaining six holes and but I think it's great I think the thing that keeps him going it's motivating is the fact that he is beating the world's greatest proven players at their game I mean he's playing right with him well it's a one-shot advantage right now for read with Hoch one-back Ballesteros in the group at 4-under let's go back to Steve Melnyk at 12 Crenshaw may be faced with the most difficult shot major championship competition downhill lie to a flagstick with braised creek beyond if anybody can handle it he can how about that for a gutty play how about that he actually hit it into the bank spun it and stopped it there aren't too many players that would have the nerve let alone the skill to make that play look at the comparison of our four litres Ballesteros who's blistered the front nine along with Crenshaw they've limped in on the back nine Reed 5-under on the back nine as we go forward to 1313 this better be a little long just right long very very well played very well thought out leaves himself about almost the identical putted Greg Norman a little bit shorter Tom Weiskopf was saying that Mike Reed is beating him at their own game only in the score not in length Tom let's go back to 12 Scott Hoch hanging in there he's not putting any undue pressure on himself you get the sense that his golf swings very much in control it's not having to get it up and down hitting fairways and greens he's just a shot back and with his length at 13 and 15 may have the advantage as he turns home is that enough well he's got to be happy with part 11 in part 12 to 14 right in the middle of the fairway from 175 yards out 70 Ballesteros probably hit a 3-wood off the tee and it's right below our Tower right there that large mound you see is in the fairway and that's about 30 yards short of the green said he'll play it very high up hit the ball right on the left-hand side of this green loaded feed down to the hole perfect just took up on a little bit of that bolt on the breakdown by the hole in SETI is for under par and let's go back to 15 Nick Faldo drove the ball 250 yards laid up and that is his third shot hit a little fat from 105 yards so he's got a sizable putt for birdie but it's the good news is up the slope as we go to the 12th I think Crenshaw summed up the essence of this tournament when he said the Masters is the celebration of God oh well what a disappointment so Crenshaw now drops three back I agreed can't be too disappointed he hit a poor tee shot unfortunately got the score he didn't want to make as we go for 215 Nick Faldo conferring with his caddie Andy project who's a an Englishman like himself this putt has quite a big swing from the players right down to his left a little more gardening to be done very deliberate players Nick Faldo will go back to the 13th Scott Hoch on the tee now started out to the right when he's hit back and he'll be able to go for the green from there I would think and touch and go but he's one shot behind the leader that's all 15 and father's opportunity to tie Seve Ballesteros at 4-under par you know 213 like greed was watching Tom Kyte putt and realized the ball does not move as much left but he shove it never had a chance from the start and he put himself about two feet away but on the tee Ben Crenshaw coming off a bogey at number 12 that's going right if he's doing that yep and I don't know what he's gonna have a chance to go at it from there my Creed tapped in for his par as we watch Crenshaw and Scott Hoch walk off the 13th tee for a hole in only place 465 yards it really doesn't give up a lot but my Creed at the present time is 6-under par after 13 hosts Scott Hoch at five Ballesteros trails foreign [Music] a surprising name atop that leaderboard my Creed at minus-6 leads by one over Scott Hoch Ballesteros true behind and then Faldo and Crenshaw at -3 Regan wanted to add to 17 jumbo Ozaki he's currently at +4 and this is for birdie in the heart and Ozaki heading for perhaps his best masters finish and we go to 15 Greg Norman at the top of the hill has pounded out his Drive 290 yards he's got in his hands at the moment of 4 on he has 200 from 10 yards to the flagstick and he has seen that Nick Faldo ahead of him one of his closest rivals Felder just one stroke ahead of him has failed to make a birdie and so now this is an opportunity that Greg Norman really must translate into an eagle if he intends to win this championship there you see where he is at the top of the hill in the perfect position [Applause] [Applause] that looked good to me made a great contact just caught the bunker and now he's got very little green between himself and the flagstick Oh needed a great deal of finesse to get up and down for a birdie so you might say that you're seeing the beginning of the end for him unless he can make a little touch of magic there 2:16 now this whole today playing at 175 yards par 3 is causing all kinds of fits to the players all week it yielded until today only 26 birdies and there have only been seven more today and there have been doubles and triple bogeys it's the third most difficult hole on the golf course in the championship with a stroke average of three point three five Nick Faldo very strong in the leg as befits a man who had a chance to be an Olympic cyclist before golf took his attention he became the youngest ever English Amateur champion although he only took up golf in the middle of his teen years at the age of 15 having watched so much on TV that turned him in favor of this game very flag matic individual never gets flustered is looking at diminishing opportunities that is probably a six-armed Oh will it feedback no it will not now I think he expected that to feedback a little towards the hole down the slope he's got a very similar putt that Sandy Lyle made down the slope last year for a two that helped him to win the Masters over to 14 Thank You Ben Tom Kyte in the middle of the fairway Thomas hundred sixty-five yards up Mike Reed is 160 I was just thinking Mike Reed if he won that green coat it's conservative as he is that'd probably be the wildest coat he would have in his closet he is it very very conservative for funny guy but he doesn't say much Tom kite now with a 6-iron pin is in the back left Tom place the ball right to left you'll try to hook it in there currently +4 for the day not having a very fun Sunday might make a little bit better from the top of the green you see right there in line with the Flex that got a straight downhill to the flag come on Mike is Mike's leading the Masters and he's got a lot of adrenaline going he's getting that ball out there 240 245 now he will not make any mistakes so quiet sometimes he's in parentheses he's very very quiet but boy getting the lead as Steve Melnyk was saying he will not make many mistakes good pin for him here Mike hits the ball higher right to left got a 7-iron 160 you might even try to hit the 15th hole and to and that was a little wayward there that was very short and if this if this wasn't wet it might go all the way down to the other side of the green and it's slowly making its way down it is still rolling as Mike walks he can't see it it's going and now it's really gaining some speed oh this is gonna be a fun putt right here and let's go down the studio Jim Nantz well thank you Gary and who better to comment then the great champions was one here six times Jack Nicklaus who now joins us and Jack a good round today for you 100 par 71 well I played decently Jim I had a good chance to shoot a pretty good score I sort of figured going out this morning that I really still had a chance to win a golf term if I shot a low number and I got it out a couple under and I just kept couldn't couldn't make anything the back nine set of shooting 30 I shot 37 well you think it's 65 again like 1986 I certainly had it in my mind when I was you know out in 34 certainly 31 in the back nine is not an unrealistic score was the first day though Jay well let's go to 13 first Jack Scott hoaxes third shot he was 225 yards on his second shot elected to layup and now it's at a very poor pitch quite a few players from that same length of 225 yards have gone for the green he's only one shot back but that's his choice who could be about the lie could the play where he felt but he has not lived it he has not left himself very good chance for birdie Ben Crenshaw now from just about 70 yards a little bit left of the flag and he'll be about 12 14 feet they just still want to flirt with the Greek and they're very conservative there as we go to 15 great touch by Craig normal that is a slippery slope down that green and he did very well together as close as he did he now has this putt for and absolutely must birdie if he is to have any realistic chance this to get 3-under par three behind Mike Reed who has troubles of his own of the 14th there is not as much break as some of the players of red to the right [Applause] and now only three players in front of him one of them Seve Ballesteros just one ahead of him Mike Reid and Scott hope the two quiet men and now from 230 yards with a three iron in his hands you'll remember how seve self-destructed with a four iron here when the great Jack Nicklaus in the studio one last in 1986 we'll go to the 14th hole and then right I think you could probably get some frequent flyer mileage with this putt this has got to be 60 70 feet up two ridges look at this putt you do not know good that pretty straight putt mike has no shortcomings really in his game other than his yardage he's everything he does well short putts and long putts great great fairway wood player which could come into play on the 15th and we'll just see how he reacts coming down the down on this final Sunday here at Masters wake and let's go to 15 now seve ready to go and he has really hooked that comprehensively well as I say he self-destructed here two years ago and that's an attempt to do the same and as we go forward to the 16th Nick Faldo has that putt down the slope as a charge it's there Nick Faldo is back in the picture that is a magnificent birdie by Nick Faldo takes him to 4-under par very reminiscent the Lyle pop good 13 Scott Hoch good 2530 feet down the hill moves more to the right than they believe everybody has misread that I don't believe I've seen one putt for that position on the high side so he was 225 to the green elected to layup hit a poor pitch I wind up to putting for his par and he'll leave here at 5-under par so Crenshaw now who has left himself a I would say about 12 feet and Crenshaw as might say Norman was here as a few have passed here he needs birdie here to get after Mike Reed because there's Burdine I guess 15 right left and fouled Oh made his move at 16 and will go forward to 14 and on 14 we have our leader Mike Reed to tidy up his to putt from about 65 70 feet this should be inside left and firm well he hit it inside left and firm spun out and now first in the armor on the 14th hole Mike Reed drops back to 5-under par and a tie with Scott Hoch and let's go back to 13 that putt right there of my Greed's has led a lot of people back in the picture Jack Nicklaus the greens a little slower because of the dampness oh the greens are little slower Kenny of the they're still breaking a lot Christie's greens break probably you know more than any other greens that we played because the Severinus of the slope but they're a little slower today and you can take a little bit of a run at him and that but they're obviously breaks a lot and the one that mike reid just missed he was playing a break that wasn't there so Crenshaw Elisabet par and we'll go forward 216 175 yards the flagstick Greg Norman six or seven iron way back down into the bottom good thing about years that he's putting up hill the 15th hole after that very poor by his standards three iron shot seve confers with his phlegmatic caddie Ian Wright from red car Yorkshire not like Miss NT his brother 213 that's par Scott ho pleased with par now he's tied with Mike Reed at 5-under two players one behind and two players two behind and we'll go forward to 15 I was talking about the relationship between himself as his and his caddy Ian right get it for him for seve when he won the British Open last year and there's you see the situation as it stands currently with the two quiet men tied for the lead but Mike Reed having showed a first in his armor at the 14th with those three putts so he knows only too well that if he has a realistic chance he must get up and down here Tom Weiskopf he's coming right up the slope which is going to be quite slow as the rain is hammering down now Ben it's not an overly difficult shot for seve it will play a chicken run keep it low run it up the bank and try to leave it underneath the hole just to the right of the pin during approach putt there's quite a swing from left to right here as the ball dies and obviously has to back off as there is a big ovation for one of his deadliest rival Greg Norman as Greg Norman strides out to the 16th now looks like a little 5-iron shot will it get there it will not leave him a long path across the slope 11 or 12 feet jack nicklaus as these rain hammers down it's taken a lot of the breakout of the putts on this green well that's that's the same putt that I had earlier been and that ball broke about two feet from a slightly longer angle so his putts gonna break at least foot foot and a half there it's gonna break very quickly I don't care how much the greens have slowed down and now we're over at the 16th hole this gorgeous but sometimes killing par-3 as we look at the leaderboard again Mike Reed and Scott Hoch tied at 5 under par Reed coming to the 15th hole and I doubt whether he'll be going for that green in two Greg Norman will have a look at this from every angle Jack Nicklaus you've been playing with Greg quite a lot and and I think helping him he seems to have taken a lot of your mannerisms Ben I don't know I heard that on television the other day and I really haven't talked to Greg about it nor have we discussed it we've played a lot of golf together but I think Greg has his own mannerisms and his own style and I have known he is taking more more time lately than he usually does I've been watching that I think that Greg style is a little faster than that and I don't know whether that's hurting or helping but he seems to be playing right pretty well right now and now he's debating whether he's gonna putt he's been watching to see what seve is doing and he's decided that he will get his putt in his first but in before seve putts on the adjoining fifteen toll there's a chance it Norman times Nick fellow poor on the paw and as he did so Seve Ballesteros missed at 15 and nearly died a fright of the tremendous noise and here you'll see it not as much bread and now you saw he hit it through the brain that war plainly disturbed no question about that he flinched Green has this for a par and now that for a bogey which will take him to 1 over par I'm surprised that seve elected to putt when Greg Norman was having his go at a birdie the nose of that putter up in the air again another crucial blunder for Seve Ballesteros at a 15th hole that has been his nemesis in two of the last three masters now back in the fairway Mike Reed has 265 yards but let's look at Greg Norman's magnificent birdie putt that so unnerved his Spanish rival up there slow just a little left turn at the finish and there he's created his opportunity to get a green coat at last 2:14 and Gary McCord and also trying to get a green coat Scott Hoch our co-leader from 185 yards away just about pin-high on the friends it's a very fast chip shot down the hill but it's getting quite wet out here right now I think that's really gonna help Scott on this chip shot now back in the fairway and Crenshaw Jack Nicklaus with this pin being on a new Plateau what are the players thinking about on their second shot here well I'm not too sure I haven't figured it out yet I think it's I mean you really have to have the ball underneath the hole to have much of a shot I think Scott's got an awfully difficult little shot coming down there but they have created a little Ridge and sort of little backing for the hole but it's he's got a tough shot you've really got to keep it under the hoe but if you keep it under the hole that ball just slips down the green yep it'll go right to the right Ben Crenshaw shooting right at our tower 165 yards away full nuke 7-iron and that's not gonna get there and we see just what Jack was talking about a second ago that will feed down into the bowl down there and now let's go to 16 and 7 st rose [Music] Oh dear me that's the end of semi I fear that is in the water without any shadow of a doubt and I think you couldn't say that SEVIS bid for his third green coat has founded two fathoms deep over at the 15th hole Mike Reid has his own problems he laid back a hundred and twenty yards from the hole and that is in the water also I would say that the pendulum has swung very suddenly in Greg Norman's favor Mike Reid will be playing his fourth shot and there you see the situation Mike Reid will be playing his fourth shot from up the hill and Scott Hoch is all right well it doesn't get any better every year in golf than the back nine at the Masters on Sunday and we're seeing it happen once again and I must confess a great moment happened before Greg Norman hit his putt at 16 Jack Nicklaus visiting with us here in the butler cabin pointed to you Tom Weiskopf and said you and me referring to 1975 when you were on the 15th green jack you were about to hit your putt at 16 and now famous 40-footer up the hill that beats on wise guy well it was exactly the same situation I mean Greg had an opportunity if he made his putt to put it put seve in an awkward position Tom had a short putt made his Johnny Miller was on the green that missed his and then Tom played a bad shot just like seve did the next hole and 3-putted and you know the knight said when I went on and won the golf tournament but it was absolutely identical type situation no he's a brilliant call on your part and let's go to 16 Ben right well that's a brilliant shot by seve to his third alas from the front of the tee the drop area and will go forward to the 17th this is Nick Faldo's bid for a share of the lead [Music] it's he's never finished higher than 15th here and this is his sixth trip and back to 14 well golf fans if you don't like this you don't like golf this is getting unbelievable as now a leader Scott Hoch tied with Nick Faldo depend on what Mike Reed does on 16 he went through three different clubs they went through a putter sand wedge and back to a putter and let's go forward to 15 and Mike Reed has played his fourth shot and we will look at that in a moment here it is he came forward just a couple of yards but it's roughly the same shot and as so often happens just hit it that much harder to atone for the shot into the water and Mike Reed has this putt down and across the slope for a par that's a tall order this does have a big swing from left to right so with Mike Reed facing a very tough par putt we have Nick Faldo in the driver seat at the moment a three-way tie at 5-under par Mike Reed trying to stay in that tie and over to the 17th Greg Norman one shot out a hundred and forty-five yards second second and fifth in the last three years he has never won here [Applause] but he might this year [Applause] [Applause] [Music] open with what for him are typical rounds in the first two rounds 74 75 68 yesterday and we go to 14 as the rain continues down Scott Hoch knocks that in for a 5 and here comes the shark it's got the right weather conditions and let's go to 15 this is for a bogey for Mike Reid and it's a big swing left to right and that was what you might call a tentative prod so he will make double bogey and fall back to 3-under and seve misses for his bogey at the 16th and double bogey will drop him down to 2 under and we go to the 17th approaches the world tremendous ovation for Greg Norman he's only three feet away from birdie and a share of the lead as we said he opened with rounds of 74 75 and then yesterday was through 17 when he had to wait that hour and 40 minute rain delay Jack I'm sure you must have some empathy for what he's gone through the last three years here he's played awfully well and you know he's had a chance to win and I think that when he lost here a couple of years ago it really hurt him for about a year and he's back on his game now and he's playing very well to the 15th and that is a very good drive by Scott Hoch at the 15th leaving him in a go position should he desire to try and carry the water he has had a wonderful hole has Scott Hoch here at the 15th eagle on the first day and birdies there after Ben Crenshaw just that one birdie and he's at 3-under par [Applause] the heavens are really weeping now very very heavy rain is hammering down that's coming off the big mound and therefore I doubt where the French Shore has any chance of going for the green over to the 18th Nick Faldo from a hundred and seventy yards back down that fairway uphill claim would Larry Mize looks like Mize will be first and you can get a pretty good indication now how hard that rain is hammering down for iron for mines he's just looking again over the top of the bunker Pat for left hold your umbrellas over your head right into the Gary well maybe it's a good thing it was raining boy someone might have taken it in the head back to Greg Norman Verne Lundquist and Norman with about three feet in this driving rainstorm if it's good he's tied at the top [Applause] one to play in regulation and Faldo and norman had joined Scott Hoch at 5-under PAR Mike Reid drops back to minus three where he shares that spot with Ben Crenshaw and we go to 18 and Nick Faldo who shares the lead - five for iron for him too wait a minute watch it come on here we go again [Applause] it sure did shades of Sandy Lyle the hole was more in the center of the green when Sandy Lyle played though Pat but he has got excellent opportunity to make birdie the word just went up the giant scoreboard what Greg Norman did back at 17 Pat I can't remember a tournament at the Masters where the where the scores had fluctuated and going up and down and so many people came back in the run of it it is a tournament that went from looks like two players players that are out and now looked at the players you got the premier players in the world Faldo Norman Scott Hoch I can't can't help but believe you can see what happened to the 18 this week very difficult hole scoring average of four point two seven nine but I can't remember the weather being like this for four days plus the first two days they have not seen the wind like that right it's been a very very different masters weather-wise Greg Norman has an iron on the right side of the tee box and to that front of that bunker that on the left-hand side is 255 yards he's protecting from going in the bunker coming off three straight birdies that's what he protected against but he's lived himself a pretty long shot back behind the bunker but there's another bunker up by the green that he's got to come over in an effort to get close to the hole Faldo in the meantime has an excellent birdie putt opportunity up at the green over to 15 Scott Hoch has pumped out a terrific Drive of 280 yards leaving him to 22 the flagstick but the rain is very very heavy the air is cold there you see that how he has played this hole so brilliantly there have been only six Eagles all week and that is a three and he's going with he's letting it go to the right and I think the bunker yes there it is in the base of the bunker to the right hand side so he has a similar shot that confronted Greg Norman and Greg Norman Delta the situation so admirably that he's just made four birdies in five holes and now to the 16th 175 yards Mike read after that tragic double bogey and he's left himself very very short indeed having dropped to 3-under par he's got told 45 feet up the green here it is with a swing to the left at the finish will come almost sideways at the finish and he is not going to make one of the very few birdies that have been recorded here just nine of them today the most significant obviously those of Faldo and Norman Tom kite in the bunker at three over par so it's another good performance by kite as we go forward to the 18th hole and Nick Faldo with a chance to take the outright lead to go 6-under just coming off birdies at 16 and 17 started they amazingly a 2 over par Pat and can you imagine that this would be a round of 64 donate hey like this it really is started out buried the first two holes and he birdied four seven then he lost the bogey at 11 that's the only mistake he made but then came back with birdies at 13 14 16 17 and this you're looking at a putt for 64 to go 6-under for determine you've watched this all day Pat does this putt break it doesn't break as much as they know we've seen us over the years that most of the time players have missed it if they're firm go right over the top side of the pole those who have missed have missed on as he looks at it to the right side the high side right if there should be a playoff it would begin at 10 but I'm not sure about the daylight remaining that is about 15 feet that's got a chance that's got a chance just a little easy if that was just firmer it was dead middle 65 for Faldo finishes 5-under and now he will wait Greg Norman has about 185 yards he's short of it the two fairway bunkers this hole has really changed Pat in the last few days you look at players of Faldo and mice hitting four irons and Greg Norman from 185 yards they were hitting seven eights and nine irons in here the first couple days with the wind direction right let's go over to 15 Scott Hoch now that's a good-looking shot that's an absolutely brilliant stroke leaving himself below for his birdie putt and you can't really fault Scott Oaks play he's just been brilliant all the way through birdied the second fifth and ninth holes and all the rest rock-solid powers forward to the 18th and Greg Norman the elements certainly a factor Greg 185 yards again he's birdied three holes in a row what do you think he's got five on Pat maybe four on I guess four I would think so up that hill the main thing is is that to the hole he could probably get a 5-iron but if he hits a little bit thick they're gonna get the bunker he's got to get a pass to hold and do almost the same thing that Faldo did he's got to get it over the front of the bunker and left the slope take care of the shot his second shot coming up for iron staring at it no in front and back down the hill we were informed it was a 5-iron now that is not the club of course that's easy to say he had to get it up on the top shelf back to 15 well despite everything you can't count this man out this was his third shot he gave himself no chance to go with a green he had 270 yards but that's a very fine pitch and you can't can't help this man are so magical is his ability with the blade because he putts for a birdie this to get him to within one of the lead time is running out but that man's ability with the putter is such that he will have to wait till a last putt his hole to count him out but Scott Hoch has a great birdie opportunity coming up the slope just a little break to his left to take the outright lead his faithful caddie keeping him as dry as he possibly can as you see the rain pelting down and we'll go for to the 18th and listening to the tribute to Greg Norman it is very difficult to applaud with an umbrella in your hand it's not as enthusiastic no it's it's kind of it's a lot more silent it's a very few times should you hear some yelling because they in frustration that it can't applaud the most frustration is Greg Norman with that shot not giving him a shot at birdie back to 15 and here's a man who has a chance to take the lead outright who has never finished higher than 27th in five previous masters $2.00 almost casual so we have an outright leader in Scott Hoch and Augusta National is weaving its own brand of magical tapestry that we have come to expect back to the 18th Greg Norman his third shot just came up a little bit short and trickled back down the hill from a shot trying to get 6-under and win and now he has a shot to try to get up and down for tie and wait sand wedge over the front of the fringe and let the ball run a little bit just carry the fringes all you need caught the fringe hit it right into the fringe you need a rain wedge that hit right into the first cut and just knocked the ball dead disappointed he's got to be disappointed Pat taken the iron off the tee he took the fungus out of clay but then he took away his his whole card which is his length and you know and he he can drive it he's a good left-to-right player besides and the closer you can get into this hole the better off you are because the three things that are better that are against you here the pin is up in front mark o'meara shot the pin is up in front he's up hill and he's got a long iron he left himself 185 yards uphill as you pointed out very difficult shot now I think he missed Club that's all there is to it there's no doubt because he didn't have the look of someone who had missed the shot he kept looking with anxiety and looking at the after shot and couldn't believe that it was that short back to 16 Scott Hoch I think that's a 6-iron he's looking anxiously right well he's played it very sensibly into the fat of the green he's taken the bunker on the left out of play and across the dreaded water so that's not a bad shot at all he can just two putt here and go merrily on his way he has looked at the big scoreboard and knows that he has a one-stroke advantage and I think Tom Weiskopf that was a very sensible play not a bad play Ben he still has a birdie opportunity he just has to be careful right now and not the three putt our conditions are getting more difficult I would ask Jack this if you could put yourself inside of his head and coach him now what would you tell him to do on these last three holes Jack Scott Hoch well I think that he played a sensible shot at at 16 I think I would've told him to make sure he had enough Club to take the water and the bunker out of play which he didn't do 17 is obviously make sure you get it up in the air off the tee you the last thing you want to do is get into Ike Street making sure that you play conservatively to the left of the hole give yourself a shot 18 I think what Norman did there's a sensible think by playing than one iron whatever club you need you take the bunker out of play and then play long on your second shot I'm not sure Crenshaw oh yes what a brave luckily courageous shot of the speaker skin leaves himself right below the hole over the 18 Greg Norman for par don't forget now Nick Faldo has finished at 5-under Greg Norman needs to make this to finish 5-under as important as his putt was at 13 to get himself in the position to try to win or tie this one here it's either in and hope for a playoff or no chance at all [Music] he has got to be just the most discouraged person right now a chicken 18th hole has really hurt him not just this year shot 68 67 the last two days in very adverse weather conditions but the hole has not been kind to him no it hasn't so Scott Hoch has the lead by one over Nick Faldo who has finished playing hope back at 16 at the moment [Music] Scott Hoch is the leader by one over Nick Faldo Hoch is on the green at 16 he's a graduate of Wake Forest where he played on a national championship team there with Curtis Strange and Jay Haas he's won three times on the tour but the last being the Quad Cities open all the way back in 1984 so it's been five years dry spell for Hoch and right now he has a shot at drip it dropping that string and picking up a green jacket and Jack Nicklaus before we let you go what do you think a Hoch will do here finishing up you talked about the strategy what he should do how do you think he'll hold up well I don't know I think Scott Hoch is a very positive little player he sort of he doesn't waste a lot of time to get nervous and I've seen him play an awful lot of good shots under pressure who knows what he's going to do he knows what he has to do I mean everybody is basically finished and he makes three cars the tournament should be his jack we appreciate you coming down and visiting with us today and we go back out to Ben right now it's 16 and Scott Hoch has walked all the way to this green and as he did so the score of Greg Norman was put up on the board in the background in other words between the sixth tee and a sixth green so he knows exactly what the up-to-date situation is there it is and he's had a pretty good look at that now he knows that this is a very tricky part comes to his left that is a testing second party's left himself for par Ben Crenshaw with that wonderful tee shot he just will not give up but he and his caddy of 15 masters tournaments Carl Jackson know that he has to make this one to get to 4-under and then hopefully make two more coming to the clubhouse he's left himself in the perfect position below the hole you see how difficult this par-3 has been for those others including an enormous amount of double and triple bogeys momentary distraction I think it was a role from elsewhere 18 that just caused him to back off and abandoned the visor yes indeed Ben Crenshaw gives himself a chance to get back into the championship and of course he's playing right alongside the leader 218 and then this is the reason for the roar watch this watch this now you go in but he cheered up after that and watch some nice wave he gives to the gallery but for some bad mistakes at 15 and 16 today and 15 the other day that might have been your champion let's go back to 16 and Scott Hoch it is lucky in a sense in that the rain is once again slightly lessened lightened certainly puting straight up the slope he's holding out with great fortitude and almost casual and he has a one-stroke advantage with two holes to play over Nick Faldo who's finished and Ben Crenshaw the most likely Challenger [Music] Scott Hoch leads the Masters to pars and I'll have a green jacket a one-shot lead over Nick Faldo who's 65 puts him in the clubhouse at 5-under par and let's go out to the action at 17 Verne Lundquist with the call Ben Crenshaw Scott hoped the final twosome of the day and Crenshaw at 4-under par he finished the third round at 3-under and when play was suspended late yesterday afternoon he had a four shot lead while we wait and go to 18 Mike Reed with a 4-iron from 180 yards away into the umbrellas when we started going downhill padded just put the brakes on but you're just kidding back to 17 Renshaw off the tee he has pard this whole each of the last three days and he caught that dust Eisenhower tree so named because the late President when he played here as a member kept insisting that it it'd be cut out and cliff Roberts kept telling him no and you can see at the left-hand side of the screen that's a hundred and ninety yards off the tee and has grown to such an extent that it fully covers half the fairway now and as Jack Nicklaus said a while ago Scott Hoch knows what he has to do and that's get the ball airborne over the tree and take it out of play which he's done it hit the tree on the right-hand side so he didn't catch the Eisenhower tree he hit one on the right-hand side Kenny that's a somewhat unusual well he's a left-to-right player and he was guarding against going in eisenhower tree but to think if you're going to go left to right you did over the tree you've got a lot of fairway to play with so you could take it over you've got about sixty yards of fairway to play with there so he just let it go to the right and the one thing he has to do is give himself the air on left-hand side which he's probably I heard now Vern he's a hundred and ninety yards from the hole and you saw that shot the other day when we spoke about it is that you got the bunker in front and long you're gonna run down that hill which that's a sure five so both Crenshaw and Hoch with difficulties off the tee here at 17 and been a course only one back and we go to 18 Mike Reed we've hit the left side of that downslope and went into the umbrellas back up into the gallery journey is a very difficult task in front of him to get the ball close Mike Reid had gone on to win that it would have been probably the most cinderella story in the history of golf well you know you always hear candidate in order to win an Augusta you have to be able to hit the ball a long way you have to be able to bring it right to left and you have to hook it yeah putt and you have to put he can do that back to 17 and the problems for both Ben Crenshaw and Scott Hoch take a look now at Scott hoaxes Drive graphically displayed it went to the right hand side and he has a hundred and eighty-five yards to the hole Scott Hoch 34 years of age one of his three victories was in 1982 at New Orleans and it was accomplished in weather very similar to what we've experienced here that ultimately became a rain delayed tournament 54 holes and asking for the crowd to clear out Tom Weiskopf how about this problem well it all starts with visibility Verne he can't see anything from where he's going to play from so now he has to go up on top of the hill and pick some kind of a target behind the green that will orientate this shot direction Tommy secondly yes wouldn't you think on this shot right here with the pin on the right hand side with the bunker he's got a one-shot lead he goes down the hill he's looking at five wouldn't you think that he would take the bunker and the right side out of play and put it somewhere left side on the green as much as you can or deep so he takes out that going down the hill definitely can you've got to play into the left center of the green the bunker is a difficult place to recover from the pin is an exceptionally difficult pin placement to play to even when you're in the center of the fairway the tough thing again not to be redundant is the visibility is picking something behind the green and then playing to that area that you can't see these are very difficult shots especially under this pressure I think Tommy is what we're talking about it like anything else is that if you get aggressive and you're trying to make birdies you've got a different thought what you're doing here he's thinking about boy if I make two pars I win and sometimes you never think that all all week long you don't think that way and he's changes attitude a little bit Ben Crenshaw in the mean time on the opposite side of the fairway sold out the wood then to back at Polk two years ago stood in the middle of the fairway here and put it over the green chip for Lee go get the hole mr. playoff with Larry Mize and Greg Naumann terrific shot Crenshaw some 30 feet away hole high center of the green and to back at Scott Hoch [Applause] these are rain problems not only present for the golfers also for our camera moon with the blind shot difficult to pick it up sometimes Scott Polk 185 yards leads by one over Nick Faldo who watches and waits impatiently having completed his round with a round of 65 even Verne if he puts it in the bunker is one thing to one place he cannot miss the green is to the right that's not the place to go he's way long he's a good forty yards over the green and we go to 18 my Creed just a moment ago for his par sad finish we went through paddy went to 6-under par at 13 and he will now finish at 2 under par so he lost four shots in last five holes Tom Kyte back to 17 some of these folks are able to applaud with an umbrella in their hand Kenny that's for Ben Crenshaw as he walks up on the green I think what they do is they get together and two people have an umbrella the heats use one hand and a long yes Ken you're looking at this looking at Crenshaw he played a magnificent second shot with the wood there to put it on the green and get it there yeah Scott Hoch is scary I mean just staring five in the eye and I'll tell you what you will make more sixes from there and it'll make force yeah I think double bogey is has got to be that's in another that is in the pages because you're coming up the hill now if he gets up over the hill again the ball is going to run and go past about good thirty feet or so so he's gonna let Crenshaw get in here if he gets a chance because if he has makes his but he goes to five and you've got Scott Hoch who will make bogey and go to five so so far though right now is he looks like he's he's gonna be the worst is in a playoff Kenny Tom how will he play this shot well first of all I think it depends on his lie that's going to determine what type of shot he plays if he has a good lie he might choose to loft it up in the air maybe the percentage shot would be to bounce it into the bank but that becomes very difficult that choice because the ground so soft and the bounce has become a lot more unpredictable the only thing with using the sandwich burn I would think is that you can hit it a little bit thick and leave it in the hill and come back the one thing you eliminate with bump and running is you will get it on the green you may not get it close but you'll take the number six out you take the wedge in there you're putting six into it I think I would think what he would take himself probably a 8-iron bump it about halfway up the hill but again Tommy and the true is that it's wet it's uphill you've got some grain in your face and it's you're at the mercy of the first bounce of the ball can I think probably maybe the percentage shot is to at least pitch the ball into the bank right maybe high up close to the green that type of a shot and just get it on the green as you say a close face pitching wedge that's right get some loft get it into that Bank at least eight or ten feet short to see what happens he's got to go halfway between that rope and up the hill and make sure the first bounce goes forward great shot what an absolutely sensational shot Vern I've been here for a long time and I've never seen any shot from that position to equal that shot that was brilliant he did exactly what tom was saying he'd hit it right in that Bank and you the first bounce she just took off perfectly and that ball had a lot of spin on it Tom have you seen one that good Verne in all the years you've been there 17 no sir not even close so he has given himself a marvelous chance to save par and of course Ben Crenshaw needs to birdie this take a look at this again ken puts his hands ahead watch this and then just he catches the ball first pops it right in the first bank up at him goes and look at the spin on that ball that ball had a chance to go in burn for a moment that would have been that would have been a real miracle now Ben print sha-2 back two holes to play this is for birdie could it be what were we talking about Vern what were we saying what were we talking about I'll tell you what there you're looking at the world's best putter right there there's another example of it I chatted with his wife Julie today when they came back to start the round I said how's Ben she said he's fine I'm a nervous wreck I wonder how our nerves are now watch it again did it again that is as pure as you're gonna find you don't think you get up for this do you now Scott Hoch who has the lead momentarily he's got a one-stroke lead and he's putting for par and it's anything but a gimme I've been watching him putt the last back nine burn and he really does not take a whole lot of time once he gets over the ball he takes a good look at it but he doesn't stand there a long time he'll take it about two three looks and he'll pull that trigger that reaction you hear is from the 18th gallery the gallery around the 18th green as they posted Ben Crenshaw score in the scoreboard there and it was heard here at 17 that is what Scott Hoch needs for the lead to maintain it No there are three at the top Faldo Hoke and Crenshaw and Nick Faldo's in the clubhouse with a round of 65 Oh bogies 17 Crenshaw birdies it Norman would be there save for a bogey on 18 and again the reaction from the gallery at 18 as they post Scott Hoch score and we go to 18 I know they're rooting for Bern we keep saying Kim they can't top it and they do it every year let's go to 18 and Ben Crenshaw and Scott Hoch are on the tee at 18 Nick Faldo is already finished at -5 Crenshaw just birdied 17 to go -5 and hope just bogeyed 17 so there are 3 atop that leaderboard should there be a playoff they would start a 10 I will be going over to 10 if there is a playoffs Scott Hoch can take number 17 after that fine pitch shot up the hill that and the putt that he had that was the shot right there that if he makes that I think he just waltzes it in and makes it four and goes home and you think back about how close that shot that he hit from off the green came to going in the hole both them both of them dipped the edge the same edge Fanshaw on the 18th tee with a driver I'd like to bring it left to right you have to because the bunker is in play if he goes left and shows the results in the meantime up at the green with the rain continuing to hammer down they're bringing out the squeegees to keep it as dry as they possibly can Crenshaw will be a hundred and seventy yards from the hole perfect angle they've taken out the squeegees to do if they can and there's water get in the bunkers got hope left-to-right player good tee shot for him and he has put it in perfect position they're right next to each other and I think Scott Hoch will be first to play and he'll will be 171 yards so a three-way tie for the lead Faldo who's finished in the last two of the day Hoch and Crenshaw walking up to their tee shots at 18 [Music] well at the moment it's come down to 18 with Faldo Hoke and Crenshaw tied for the lead 5 under par and what a charge by Ben Crenshaw with birdies at 16 and 17 Tom Weiskopf you're feeling right now and what's going to happen well I feel that one of these two players is going to birdie this hole because they're so close together off the tee that they're going to learn from whoever hits first and I just feel this is a this is a situation that is birdies going to happen let's go back out to 18 with Pat Summerall and Ken Venturi well you know Tom just before you said that that you felt that one of them would birdie 18 Ken Venturi said the same thing and a Ben Crenshaw wins he can buy a new umbrella [Applause] Tom I agree with you I think that right here in the situation with the pin to where it is and they drove on the right-hand side of the fairway they can use the slope they can bring it in front from right to left and they're looking to casual water on 18 and Ben I think is going to get a drop water in the buck or in front of the 18th green casual water ruling that you walk around you can see the splash you you can bring up the water with your feet you have to you have to see the casual water you can't go around stomping on it but you have to just be able to see it so he's showing where he can drop the ball right it's been raining steadily for about two and a half hours now and again in spite of the adverse weather conditions a tremendous courteous gallery around the 18th now is the last to come up that if we have a playoff how much light do we have not much they would go back to ten if they have a playoff Nick Faldo Scott Hoch and Ben Crenshaw tied at -5 if it's not completed today we'll come back tomorrow live at 10:00 a.m. Crenshaw's away let's see if weisskopf and I know what we're talking about pet you mean that do you think I think Tom both think that one of these two will birdie the hole to win I do I'm not going to tell you who either because I know right now what you're looking at you're looking Ben Crenshaw is a right-to-left player I think Han Scott Hoch is a left-to-right player and Crenshaw has the edge here because of the position of the pin and the slope and the angle he has this is set up to his shot Scott Hoch does not have quite as much green to play with as Ben Crenshaw has there there's your angle there you see the players on the right-hand side of the fairway they'll try to hit it into the middle of the green with a slight draw and then if they get past to bring it back to the hole again you don't want to put it in the bunk you don't want to leave it short like Norman did you have to get the ball over the front of the green and then you've got about 20 more feet to play with because it comes back and again this is a situation Nick Faldo is finished 5-under shot 65 today Scott Hoch at -5 Crenshaw's away he'll be first to hit and he's ready no oh no no not there not there right over the top into the bunker a lot of water in that bunker as well [Music] well and now it there is one here's hope you have to forget the putt at 17 and this is the shut at hand right now 5-iron that really looks good is going to be the right side hold up he'll have a shot at it put himself about 20 feet away but Pat you have two thoughts on this thing you got two putts you play again one putt you win but you can't afford to to get too bold with this putt that's what I was saying it the putt at 17 he makes that the game is over Crenshaw in the bunker and short and Scott Hoch up on the green and Nick Faldo has finished at 5-under par [Applause] the ball is not buried that's Crenshaw's ball [Applause] you know we're saying is that would Crenshaw being a right-to-left player came over the top and Scott hope wouldn't even fool with the left-hand side because he left the right player and gave it all the air he could so the story basically is that Crenshaw has to get it up and down out of the bunker Nana Hoke if he makes the pup is the champion not out of the realm of possibility that that trench y'all could hold it out of there Doug Ford held it out of there one year the wind Pat Jack in 1956 no I remember 56 very well it wasn't 56 I even remember that bear was I was an amateur in 56 and I didn't hold out anything that's when Burke won in 56 I was second as an amateur and I think who as Ford was in 56 57 years amazing how you remember those things Crenshaw now who is a good bunker player he yet here's another thing being with the bunker being wet even though he's a little uphill this one here he's got to me is to put it he's got two chances here one if he puts it at the hole and holds it there or behind the hole and backs it up I think this one here has got to get past the hole because with any spin it's gonna back up on him and come down that slope this is a nice arm shot try to take the spin off it nope no it went just at a place it doesn't come back far enough it'll come back a little bit not far enough came out a little bit lower than he wanted to because of the wet sand now it's for Scott Hoch Greg Norman made bogey at 18 to go to four Crenshaw is looking at bogey and at one time at at 17 they were there five there are four players at 5-under but right now this is hoax tournament to win everybody else has to watch including Nick Faldo who's already finished and it's 5-under as is Hoch interested champion Sandy Lyle who birdied this hole last year to win the tournament probably with one of the best shots we've ever seen at 18 to win and to get this many people around the 18th hole and here it is just the silence is deafening you can only hear the rain you know you can go through a lot of things Pat we've said it before once the time Henry longer said it when he's talking about a shot that Scott Hoch very well knows what he has to do and I guess right now there's nothing more to do with than just watch all the cameras please [Music] [Applause] fermer he makes it but again as we said Pat if it's little a little conservative because he can't afford to this rip at it he'll play another hole he will go to ten there are two for sure and one waiting now it's Scott hope Nick Faldo at 5-under and maybe Ben Prince y'all this putt this putt is a very difficult but there's a there's a very subtle two-way break in this but as you said before this is the world's best to put her I know it does this test your stroke it test your nerves he's made such good putts at 16 and 17 keep making them you know how many can you make if you're Ben Crenshaw you can make a lot looking down from our tower here Pat looking down at the 10th green they are just almost the hole Gary has moved now to the 10th hole except the ones that have been here all day if he makes there'll be three in the playoff there too so they'll go back to ten as the daylight permits Hoke and Faldo Ben Crenshaw Greg Norman both bogey the 18th French ah shot 71 today and the playoffs will commence very shortly Nick Faldo and Scott Hoch will go to the 10th hole and begin to play off with Crenshaw and Norman just 1 off the lead and Ballesteros at minus 3 and read it to [Music] a sudden-death playoff at the Masters Nick Faldo from Great Britain and Scott Hoch from Orlando Florida headed to the 10th tee now sudden-death for the green jacket let's take a look now Tom Weiskopf at the finishing scores Tommy Aaron and George Archer both having a good tournament here or Calcavecchia 76 in the final round [Music] fifty-two players and all made the cut [Music] Jody Mudd with a 66 today rekt Norman 66 finishing at minus four and one back of a playoff nice round today by Jeff Sluman [Music] and Lee Trevino with a 69 it appears he has made the top 24 which means he will be coming back to Augusta National top 24 receive exemptions for the following year and of course 60 Minutes will be coming up in its entirety here on CBS following the playoff what about this playoff timewise gone well they've picked one of the most difficult holes on the golf course to begin with it's a very demanding difficult par-4 485 yards downhill slight dogleg to the left one of the smaller greens on the golf course so when you're playing your second shot you have a very small target to play to but it is a demanding hole well the format used to be 18 holes but since 1979 well that was the first year they had a sudden-death playoff and that was the year fuzzy cellar won on the 11th green knocking out Tom Watson Edie Snead had also participated in that sudden-death playoff so that was ten years ago the first time we had one of those coming down to well it could come down the one hole that year it took two holes but here we are headed to 10 and who better to comment about Nick Faldo perhaps than one of his neighbors in Surrey England our defending champion Sandy Lyle and Sandy thank you for joining us and what about Nick's game now we know he was in the playoff last year the 18-hole playoff at the US Open before losing to Curtis Strange and he's been finished now for about 40 minutes what do you expect we'll see from Nick I think you'll see some good drives first of all I think the main thing really between the two plays is the second shot Nick's hits the ball very cleanly he's it need long irons very well so I kind of fancy he'll be very good with his second shot to the 10th hole well he changed putters today after coming out and finishing up his third round he was 2 over went out and shot a brilliant 65 here in the fourth round and I've got to think that perhaps he feels like he's got things going after the way he performs on the back nine today did Nick Faldo yes rod had been putting very well and 18th I had a good chance of making birdie there but I think he must be feeling very pleasing himself and looking forward to having a good effort to win the tournament well Scott Hoch has been out on the tour for over 10 years and Tom he has never participated in a playoff so what kind of effect do you think that'll have on him Oh a tremendous there's a lot of pressure he has the advantage of just coming off the golf course going immediately to the tenth hole where as Nick has been really waiting for almost 45 minutes now so we're going to go out to the tee right now the 10th tee and bring in Bob Murphy oh there they come [Applause] Scott Hoch of course PJ Boatwright of the United States Golf Association have a little flip of the coin here to decide who will play first Scott certainly seems to be congenial enough Nick's had a while to think about this Ken Venturi your thoughts well they came up they looked at both smiling I'm very happy there being a playoff I know Nick Faldo is Bob and of course you look back at 17 we're thinking of that putt that would have been it would have been the champion would have been Scott Hoch Scott nick is going to La Crosse was won by Nick Faldo right well Nick's only been in one playoff in the in the US and that of course when he lost to Curtis Strange in 1988 that however Kenny was a was this 18-hole playoff and this is sudden death here we're seeing how the hole is played average score 4.3 it's a very tough whole and of course the wind for the most part of the week was the tough part of the golf hole I was watching father when his practice in the other day and follow would read he is very comfortable with a left-to-right factor oh this whole calls for the right to left down the hill hopefully in the valley we left it out to the right I don't know if that will come down as much or if it's gonna be the right side the fair and I don't think it's gonna catch that slope it didn't it's up on the hill and that'll be a difficult stance very difficult stance he's standing with his feet down leaning towards the green very difficult shot Scott can place himself at a great advantage here get it down the hill good driver look like he nailed it right straightaway he took it right to left and they call him a left-to-right player that is perfect draw that's beautiful it's right down on the bottom he's got himself about 160 yards to the front edge of the green so advantage Scott Hoch right here and the playoff is on both boys getting a little nervous but they're on their way down the hill we'll be back [Music] in golf there's no more pressure than a sudden-death playoff for the green jacket and that's what's happening now for Nick Faldo and Scott Hoch and what a charge by Faldo and we pick up now some of the highlights of his round and this was at 16 unbelievable pot your gym from about 18 feet down the hill extremely fast fantastic and moved him at that point to 4-under if you like that one how about the one at 17 even a more difficult putt I think putting up through a transition area up on top slope fast breaking and it maybe not hit the deck [Applause] although burning food the final six holes to go to 5-under par and into the playoff now after a brilliant shot from behind the green Scott Hoch for par he was six under at this point time yes and I think he just tentatively pulled this putt just a little bit left it outside never took the break in dropped him to that 5-under figure that got him in the playoff with Faldo Nick Faldo played the majors last year better than any other player in the world second at the US Open third at Royal Lytham in the British Open and fourth at the PGA let's go back out to the 10th hole Bob Murphy well on tour Ken Venturi we usually say that the guy with the hot hand for the day and is the winner in most playoffs and in this in this case it's advantage foul though but I don't like where he is back on top of that hill he's approximately 205 yards is he not kenny to the front edge he's approximately 205 to the front edge we've lost Ken's Mike momentarily it's a long shot you're standing below the ball your left foot is downhill as well I have to be very careful not to pull this ball way left of the green to be a good shot he's in the bunker in front just short not surprising that's a very tough stance there from on top of the hill now it's back to the advantage Scott Hoch the two players incidentally have both made par in all four rounds on number 10 Scott it appears has some casual water problems he's pacing around looking for a little help he'll be asking for a drop he seems casual enough pacing a bit trying to get his thoughts Tom Weiskopf Faldo had a very difficult shot from the top of the hill I would say Bob it was almost virtually impossible to hit the green the odds of hitting the green I'm not saying that he couldn't have but it would have taken his supreme effort to put that ball on the green especially with a long iron right there you can see the difference in the in the drives foul no had approximately 230 yards to the hole from a most difficult stance hello and Scott Hoch has approximately a hundred and ninety left so he'll be hitting 5-iron maybe four [Music] still waiting for the approval on the drop bob the shot that Paulo had he was 213 yards of @minnesota difficult the ball was above his feet and plus his left foot was lower than his right and I guess the natural tendency on that is to keep him over hooking and then he blocked out the right a little bit but he had a long very very difficult shot yeah he certainly did we all know that if you miss the 10th green to the left it bounces very hard left because the hill slopes that way and once it takes off it goes down towards the scoreboard and you've got yourself a lot of problems we can be bothered by a light problem here the same as we were yesterday that's that's partially what shut us down yesterday was the was the light with the delay and in play Bob if it should be a playoff we'll be back if we don't get a chance to finish the playoff is what I should say we'll be back at 10 o'clock tomorrow to continue our coverage Scott hope at 10:00 and Bob Murphy Nik of course is a bit concerned about what he's just done Scott's taking a little bit more time probably than Nick would like he's been waiting a long time anyway in the clubhouse so he's had a lot of time to gather his thoughts it's got now ready to play you want to be most careful and get your club dry make sure your glove is dry I think we saw Ben Crenshaw his club got away from him on 18 a little wet somehow it slipped Murphy's better before that's taken a 4-iron so he's coming all the way to the hole right on track Murph it's gonna be a little bit right a hole that's a good shot it's on the green safely some 30 feet short of the hole makeable putt so darkness is pushing the play off but Nick Faldo and Scott Hoch are involved in the most serious event here [Music] hello Steve can you hear me okay all right [Music] okay yes sir I've got a I've got like at any second scripted lead today yes sir Ken Venturi can you get close enough to the time walk can you can you get close enough to look at that lie it looks fine from here Murph it's clean okay except the ball is gonna be below his feet a little bit there was quite a bit of water in that well on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff Scott Hoch is on the green but Nick Faldo is in a green side bunker let me ask sandy Lyle what kind of bunker player is Nick Faldo when it's a very good bunker playing you can see that a pretty good lie there so you know it's difficult to say what can happen out of here now we could not Viktor in 2 3 feet and then we've got hope putting as well you could knock it 3 feet past and it could be down to the 3 footers in the end all right sandy let's go back out now to my colleague Bob Murphy at 10 Ken Venturi down by the bunker you want to describe that stance of it again Murph it just took a look at it and the ball is sitting you can see a little bit of water and it's very smooth because of the rain has worked some of it down but the ball of evil lowers feet the bunker has to be very firm and this ball should come out lower and faster and if the Seine was soft under ordinary circumstances not a tough bunker shot and I think you could hear at home that the sand was very wet surprise Nick caught his club took it straight down and as a result he's left himself way short Murph that Sam was just packed with with the water and the sand it was compacted and it was in fact you could hear the sound of thud of the club it was very difficult to get the club through the ball so now it's back at Vantage Scott Hoch if I'm Scott Hoch I don't I don't get too brave here I'm gonna nurse this up with the slope and this green we've seen so many players this week three putting from everywhere I want to lag this up somewhere around the hole if she falls in terrific but I'm gonna get my par and then let mr. foul doe have his go don't you feel Murph but with the conditions when you're just trying to to putt looks like 2-plus gonna win he's coming uphill but still damp after the rain and trying to get it close you're gonna leave this one short more time you're gonna hit it fast that's true I don't want to be tentative Kenny I want to try to get it up around the hole and if and if anything I would give it a little more hair I'd give it a little more break any seeds because I would rather have it die towards a hole then I would have that things start slipping away cuz you've seen these things slip away all day that's very true however of course we've been watching under much different circumstances when the greens were a little faster than they are right now because of all the rain it's really getting dark you know you can see Scott squinting yesterday he made the comment that he really didn't want to play and he asked to have place stopped because it got so dark with asking Nick to tap his coin down see a shielding trying to a little better vision if he can if he's having him tap the coin down then he has got a perfect line of what he wants to do because he's got the coin that coin Nick Faldo's vault is halfway between the hole and Scott Hoch so he has a perfect little line to hit it by and that's what he looking in right it's got to hurt that's no gimmie Murphy it's a tough spot to leave it up above the hole that's where you don't want to go past became it's amazing how sometimes Kenny the the smallest putt can can loom awfully large I feel certain on 17 when Scott had a you know four or five footer for par that Crenshaw rammed in that thirty five footer that I put gets a little longer quickly well this part of follows if he happens to maker will make the Scott host a little bit longer but I don't know how you can explain to the to the viewer is that the pressure that's going I mean it's on these two players for the Masters championship and it's very dark I mean the picture that we see in our screen is deceiving because the cameras give you an awful lot of extra light if this is go in and they do tie I think they will try to get one more hole in I believe you're right this putt will break from Nick's right to his left a real good speed putt was he so he saw the line work cuz it went right over his coin he's got Hoch holding his breath he's outside of homeland he's outside of Scott Hoch any Murphy yes I believe he is but he had to he had to get that one there Kenny he had to give it a go that was no time to leave it short that's right a lot of pressure I guarantee your hands are bouncing around it's hard to spot a ball sometimes when you're playing for a major championship Faldo of course now it would have to be frustrated inside his head Scott hookers are you saying boy I've got a 3-footer downhill for everything all that we work for all the time all we think about dream about mom and the babies at home nervous he's given us a good look because I'll tell you what he hasn't given Scott Hoch his putt and he's not gonna just about rush this when he still has hopes he makes this there's still a chance it's down to one cut number that's right it's putt throughout the day now if I can tell you one thing Ken Venturi I've seen this putt missed off to the right the players want to play it straight and if they hit it too easy it will go off to the players right as we're looking at it you can see that Scott has taken his time he's not about to rush this but not when it's for the Masters not for any Tour event but not for a major he knows that he's what two feet Merck a little over two feet maybe right and that's just 24 inches away from a green coat which is a career a lifetime the career in one putt found a study shaking his head a bit obviously disappointed straighten firms got right in the heart missed it and he's knocked it he's knocked at three-and-a-half feet past the hole I don't believe it do not leave it boy he has got to gather himself yes he's got the because the people are beginning to run they're running down to 11 he's missed a putt he's thinking about 17 we had a picture Kenny he just picked his putter up and kissed it and said come on girl don't let me down right here now this putt nerf I've seen this part of many time and I'll tell you what he missed it on the left coming down hit it too firm but this one here will slip fast to the left if you just miss hit this a hair you'll miss it to the left yeah because it's back uphill and it's much slower Scott's got to take two or three deep breaths here you called it right when you said straight in and take it straight back and put it in boy what a game we play all right I'm glad to see that all right we go to 11 and use Steve Melnyk disappointed but it's still not over he's just wondering why how he is having trouble seeing I don't think there's any doubt about it he's squinting badly and he's a little nervous down to you Jim Nantz all right thank you Bob Murphy and again a chance to remind everyone that 60 minutes is coming up next after the sudden-death playoff his concluded should it conclude tonight 60 minutes coming up in its entirety and Tom Weiskopf who would have ever thought that both players would suffer bogeys on the first playoff hole in this thing would continue well it's a game of momentum and the advantage was totally and Scott hoaxes hands through the entirety I'm on the 11th II now number 11 now I really think the advantage now goes to Nick Faldo you may have an observation Sandi that you felt that Scott was perhaps taking a little too long before he had that putt for the win yeah I think he just he's playing outside his own rhythm I think the main thing now is just cool and just play within yourself and do your normal that beseeches I think at the moment now he's at least doubled his time on surveying the putt and things just lost a little bit all right so we're headed back down to Amen Corner and Tom perhaps tell us what we're gonna see here at 11:00 this is a tough one well it's a very difficult again long par-4 down the hill very wide fairway I think most of the players will favor the left half of the of the fairway when they played this hole there's a pond that guards the left side of the green and the pin is in a very difficult place again I wouldn't think that a birdie is something that is going to beat you in this hole we'll turn it over to Steve Melnyk though so Nick Faldo can breathe a little easier after the missed putt from hope Steve Melnyk is the man on the scene at 11 all right Jim 11th hole playing 455 yards and every bit of that as these cold wet conditions make this otherwise difficult par-4 that much harder fouled Oh surprisingly has not hard this hole in four rounds has made four bogeys four outings here left side actually the better side to be you can only imagine what thoughts must be going through Scott hooks Minds having to sort through that mess you know he came to the last hole of the 72nd hole at the 1987 PGA Championship had his short putt to time 3-putted and very nearly three putt of the 10th but it's Faldo and Hoch with bogey fives at the first playoff hole for the 53rd Masters title we're on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff for the green jacket Nick Faldo 31 year old out of Surrey England and Scott Hoch form Orlando Florida on the second hole of the sudden-death playoff and Tom I've got to ask you how much will this putt weigh on Scott Hawkes mine now is he had the green jacket within his grasp a lot but you have to get that thought immediately out of your mind [Applause] actually had a longer but coming back to stay in it and they successfully negotiated the final three feet of that one I think it's really going to put a lot of pressure on Scott in playing his second shot it really gets down to who's going to play first Jim I think the player that's going to play second is going to get a lot of vibes off of how the player who has just played feels he'll relate to where this player has played his shot into the green and then he'll make his choice now do do I remain conservative or do I attack the pin well Tom of the other three sudden-death playoffs here at the Masters two of them ended right here at 11 fuzzy Zeller winning in 1979 with a birdie and of course Larry Mize from off the green in 1987 on this very same 11th hole and let's go back out to 11 now Steve Melnyk all right Jim Nantz going for kid casual water Kenney Steve they're looking at casual water in this whole area where Faldo is is all water but I don't think he's going to find much more than this the whole fairways car a little bit well this is the fourth sudden-death playoff at the Masters Stadler defeated Dan pol in 1982 with a par at the 10th hole Fuzzy's eller in the first year they had a sudden-death playoff birdied this the 11th hole to defeat ed Snead and Tom Watson in 1979 of course it was here two years ago Larry Mize with a stunning pitch shot which eliminated Greg Norman a dramatic win and now they come to 11 once again with darkness fading here at Amen Corner each player played the 10th as though neither wanted to win Steve how far is the pin back from the front of green today Kenney the flagstick is 27 paces from the front of the green and foul though is a hundred and seventy-seven yards to the front of the green so his shot here is 0-2 202 and I wouldn't think anything again you just can't get out of the norm I think you've got to give it air that right you just can't afford to fool but put it in the water so I think you're gonna see this ball especially cuz he's going way way right gives him a pretty good angle on the right hand side but I wouldn't be surprised to see Scott Hoch go right at the flag because he's gone over the water and the greens are soft he's got a perfect angle well into Scott hoaxes misses are to the right if he takes enough Club he can fired the flagstick and if the ball dress right he's safe foul though now is playing toward the water Kenny he has bogeyed this hole each trip here this week four consecutive fives that's Andy progr his longtime caddy and he was with Nick when he won the British Open in 87 yeah what would have been the odd Steve for you to think that they that he missed that part of every test we were packing of our bags Kenny that's what we thought about it three iron for Faldo he played a good long iron at ten despite the fact that he found the bunker wait a minute take a look at this one Steve that's better than good Kenny I won't tell you what that is some gutsy play he just took it right at it and then even fooled it well they got a new lease on life all right poke open the door foul those trying to slam it shut Scott hook now just under 200 yards out that's going right and it's gonna miss the green of the right Steve he's not as far right or as far long as Mies was but it's certainly reminiscent of that spot we're in sudden death at Augusta National this the 53rd masters Nick Faldo and Scott Hoch seeking a green jacket [Music] well it's hard to argue the masters is the most coveted title in golf and the drama in tension doesn't get any higher than right now a sudden-death playoff now on the second hole which is the 11th hole or the playoff system here at Augusta National after bogeys at 10 by Scott Hoch and Nick Faldo they are on the 11th hole as we go back through the history here at Augusta Nation jim-jim when you're under enormous pressure as these two players are you still have to make a golf swing and it was very evident if you compare the two swings Faldo made a beautiful aggressive classic swing and then the other player this got justice Scott just got up there and just came off the ball and it looked like he was afraid of the shot he didn't make his swing and and it's tremendous pressure the runner and now the advantage definitely is infallible and of course Faldo had to feel like the momentum went back to his side after Hoch led him right back in it with the short miss that two footer at 10 and Kenny can tell us just how tough this shot is it appears to be easy but it's difficult I've been right down here Tommy and I took a look at the slope it goes a little bit for right-to-left but this one here is once it gets moving as we've seen so many times it keeps moving itself finds its way to the back of the green all time he has I would say I would say 30 feet to clear the fringe and then he's got about I'd say 45 feet to the hole he's taking a lofted Club he's it looks like to the same club he used at the 17th hole so he's gonna pitch this I would say a good oh I would figure about 10 feet on the green and then let it roll well Kenny he likes to spin or nip his pitch shots and it's apparently gonna do the same thing here watch out that's gonna go checking up he can really spin it but there's another tester right there he's left himself I would say six feet deep well he missed the short putt at 17 after the brilliant chip for par which might have slammed the door shut for everyone and of course the putt at the last and obviously Faldo has out on his mind it was a putt a little bit shorter than this that fuzzy Zeller made in 1979 to eliminate ed Snead and Tom Watson the flagstick a little bit further back than it was 10 years ago Faldo and Hoch each playing in his sixth Masters until this year they had only broken 70 once and that is 69 the first round here each broke 70 the last round here each broke 70 all bogeys for Faldo chance to redeem himself and sudden-death all he wants to do is get it close falls in it's a plus as we say but put it back on Scott hope shoulders there it is and his beloved then mildo that bowl was moving at a pretty good rate to Steve Nick Faldo now with two major checking [Applause] he was given a reprieve at the 10th took advantage of it here at 11 Nick Faldo the 1989 Masters champion Michael Byrne Alex a longtime friend Andy progr longtime caddy he played the right shot at the right time Kinney it's superb iron that made this victory possible but I'll tell you Steve I don't care as long as I play here as long as we play golf I believe there's destiny I he was meant to win because it was Scott hopes tournament at number 10 and then he turns around and puts it right back and makes a putt at 11 but he played a brilliant shot into this green I mean that was he took he took it straight on well this is a man that had not part this hole all week long four consecutive fives and in the sudden-death birdie they've won in like a champion let's go down to the butler Kevin and Jim Nantz and that may be his last master story Lee Trevino 67 placed him on top of the leaderboard as a ray of hope in a tournament he has never met but the shot of the day belonged to Tommy Nakajima at the 17th hole [Music] [Applause] an eagle for Nakajima and the first round was complete Friday however was a day unfit to fly swirling winds kept things cool and scores high leader Nick Faldo would lose two strokes in the final three holes and a baffled Ballesteros would three-putt from three feet settle for seven at the 15th hole and Lee Trevino well he continued his dip in the Fountain of Youth a 74 was good enough to keep him tied with foul though for the lead through 36 holders yesterday the shark made his move Greg Norman 68 was the round of the day as he circled once again for a final strike but the tournament now was in the hands of Ben Crenshaw as he built a four-stroke lead over the rest of the field and just when it seemed no one could stop Crenshaw the elements did play was suspended for more than an hour and a half by the rain and the day ended with the third round incomplete early today they cleared what the overnight rain had walked Crenshaw finished his third round with this bogey putt at 18 [Music] left Crenshaw one up on the field with 18 holes left to play and on the front and I of fourth round Seve Ballesteros on his 32nd birthday one out in 31 came home in 38 did not claim his third green jacket Mike Reed led at one point until knocking it into the water at 15 greg norman was charging until a bogey at 18 did him it Ben Crenshaw charged with birdies at 16 and 17 failed the par at the 18th Nick fouled over the final round 65 enabled him to get into a playoff routing four of the final six holes and regulation in Scott Hoch he shot a 69 in the fourth round Nick Faldo on the second bowl of sudden-death wins the green jacket it's the third time a sudden-death playoff has been decided on this green we watched the reaction of the Masters champion Nick Faldo 31 year old from Surrey England will return to Augusta Georgia with the green jacket ceremony and just a moment well we're waiting for the return of our new Masters champion Nick Faldo who's making his way back toward the clubhouse to the adjacent butler cabin as we look at the top 24 plus ties all of these golfers have qualified for next year's Masters in that group you can include Lee Trevino who's 69 in the final round got him back for one more go-around someone said at the age of 49 that this could be Trevino's final masters he had run out of exemptions dating back to his victory in the PGA at shoal creek but an outstanding week it was for Lee Trevino now let's go back one more time and look at the winning putt for Nick Faldo we'll be back with our winner Nick Faldo when we return to Augusta Georgia [Music] yet another dramatic finish to the Masters a sudden-death playoff and I'm now joined by the chairman of this Masters Tournament mr. horde Hardin also here with us is the 1988 Masters champion Sandy Lyle and the winner Nick Faldo and mr. Hardin once again we've had an excellent third of it this year it was rather special I'd say of course we're here as you know to confer upon our winner an honorary membership in this club normally we have a chance to visit with the low ammeter but this year unfortunately no ammeter made the cut but I'm sure you've got some questions you want to ask both of these gentlemen yes I do indeed mr. chairman thank you and Nick usually there's a one shot that turns it around for a golfer what was it today for you jeepers I had had so many I I made some very fluky putts on one and seventeen that one on 16 was was so reminiscent a sandy of last year but I think mine was harder I mean I was off the green with a little bit of mud on it and and she's just a dream did it ever come to mind that last year you'd been in the playoff at the US Open and now here you are on another major championship in a playoff again yeah I did I certainly did you know I but I just try to keep myself relaxed and said well you know yeah you're in it play hard and I was certainly believing I was going to do it and and to make a three on on eleven I've made four fives on on hoe and bogey offered his bogey all four days and I look to that part I thought well if we carry on we weren't but I see the pin at the next and then we're gonna have all sorts of problems so not that was they went in and you know well let me let me take you back to ten the first hole with a sudden-death playoff and Scott Hoch has the chance for victory and what was going through your mind at that point it's very difficult to say I mean he he stands out he's got a putt you said yourself he's got that to win and I just stood there and looked and I wasn't thinking anything and you never pull against a guy or anything and and well as a commissioner it was a great putt Dettol for victory and Nick congratulations and mr. chairman it's time now for our traditional green jacket presentation well sandy as you know it's customary for the defending champion to put the new jacket on our new winner and would you do the honors forty-four large what is room for a three ngratulations Iceman I so much cold hand isn't it everything is cold tied up oh wow congratulations thank you so much well thank you Nick Faldo with a performance that has earned him the title that so many in this great sport of golf strive for Masters champion with this putt on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff and at this moment from Augusta National Nick Faldo is on top of the golf world he is the Masters champion and for all of us at CBS Sports this is Jim Nantz saying good night [Music] you
