Augusta native Larry Mize won his only major championship in a sudden-death playoff over Seve Ballesteros and Greg Norman.

Norman then played conservatively to the right fringe, with a 50-foot (15 m) putt, sensing a par could win the green jacket.

But Mize chipped in for an improbable birdie 3 and a stunned Norman failed to hole his to tie, which ended the tournament.
