Greg Norman relives worst golf collapses in new documentary

Golf

Greg Norman has relived the most painful moments of his golf career in an excruciating but must-watch piece of television.

The new ESPN 30 for 30 documentary titled Shark unpacks his numerous final-day collapses, culminating in his heartbreaking meltdown at the 1996 Masters.

Norman finished runner-up at majors eight times — the fourth most of any player — behind only Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Arnold Palmer.

He finished second at the Masters on three occasions — in 1986, 1987 and 1996 — and developed a reputation for choking in final rounds.

During his playing days, Norman felt he was cursed by the golfing gods but he is far more philosophical today.

In an excruciating piece of television, Norman re-watched the final round of the 1996 Masters for the first time, in which he gave up a six-shot lead to Nick Faldo in the most harrowing collapse of his career.

Norman won two British Opens but he never won the Masters, despite coming close on so many occasions.

The 67-year-old is clearly now at peace with the fact he never got to wear the famous green jacket.
