flying sand wedge?
Never before – and never again – had an Augusta, GA, native won The Masters until April 12, 1987, when Larry Mize improbably chipped in for a birdie 3 on the 11th hole using the sand wedge seen flying above. It was the second playoff hole and from about 100 feet, Mize’s shot bounced a few times and then snaked its way into the cup. He famously hoisted the wedge and jumped for joy. Of course, he still needed to withstand his gobsmacked opponent, Greg Norman‘s, 50-foot birdie effort.
Norman 2-putted and Mize claimed his fourth and final PGA Tour victory. Check out this Golf Digest story about Mize’s victory commemorating the 30th anniversary of the win.
