Masters Moments - 1996 - Faldo capitalises on Norman's collapse

Nick Faldo's third Masters victory in 1996 will not be remembered so much for his amazing final round of 67, but more for Greg Norman's collapse from a winning position.
Going in to the fourth day in pole position, Norman carded an unbearably disappointing round of 78 as the Englishman completed a victory from six strokes behind.
It was tough to watch as an opponent, as well as a spectator, and the players' reaction to the result after they holed out at the 18th was a classic example of brilliant sportsmanship between two tough competitors.
