The Masters often has a way of bringing a tear to the eye. None more so than in 1995 when highly-unfavoured Ben Crenshaw claimed his second Green Jacket.
Crenshaw turned up at Augusta just days after the death of his former coach and mentor Harvey Penick (author of The Little Red Golf Book) with little hope of winning.
It turned out that the veteran's total score of -14 equalled the fourth-lowest score in the history of the Masters, while birdies on the 16th and 17th on Day 4 gave Crenshaw a one-shot victory over Davis Love III.
The pressure was overwhelming and Crenshaw almost collapsed in tears after making his winning putt.
Pass the Kleenex!
