1996: Master Strokes
This was my first Masters as golf editor at SI, and our team was determined to make a splash. The plan was to be flying over the 18th green on Sunday as the last putt was holed and get the winner's reaction. We were expecting a coronation, as Greg Norman was holding a six-stroke lead going into the final round, but instead photographer Jim Gund captured the wonderfully poignant moment that Norman, who had imploded by losing all six strokes and five more, emotionally embraced playing partner Nick Faldo, the man who had caught and passed him.
