Nick Faldo
Faldo rebuilt his swing and emerged with three Masters and three Opens. His 1996 Masters win after Greg Norman’s collapse became an unforgettable final-round reversal.
Faldo committed to a demanding swing rebuild when he was already a tour winner. It paid off with a controlled style that traveled well to both Augusta and The Open.
His six majors included the 1996 Masters, when Greg Norman lost a six-shot lead and Faldo closed with a 67. The result is remembered for Norman's heartbreak and Faldo's relentless Sunday.
Faldo's exacting preparation sometimes looked unemotional beside more flamboyant rivals. In majors, that steadiness was a competitive weapon.
