Golf tournament
The 1988 Masters Tournament was the 52nd Masters Tournament , held April 7–10 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia . Sandy Lyle won his second major title with a birdie on the 72nd hole to win by one stroke over runner-up Mark Calcavecchia .[ 2]
Lyle led after 36 and 54 holes,[ 3] but relinquished the lead on the final nine; he carded a double-bogey on the par-3 12th after his tee shot hit the bank and rolled back into Rae's Creek. Having failed to make birdie on either of the two par-5s on the back nine, he remained one stroke behind Calcavecchia at the par-3 16th. Lyle's tee shot found the green and left him with a 15-foot (4.6 m) putt for birdie, which he holed.[ 4]
Tied for the lead on the 18th tee, Lyle's 1-iron tee shot found the fairway bunker. His 7-iron approach landed past the flag and up the slope of the tier running across the green, before gradually rolling back to finish around 10 feet (3 m) from the hole. After holing the birdie putt, Lyle danced up the green to claim his only green jacket .[ 5]
From Scotland , Lyle was the first winner of the Masters from the United Kingdom , which had four consecutive with Nick Faldo 's playoff wins in 1989 and 1990 and Ian Woosnam 's one-stroke victory in 1991 . Decades later, Lyle's approach shot from the bunker on the final hole is still regularly referred to by BBC commentators, particularly Peter Alliss , who almost without fail, remark that any shot rolling back to the pin on the 18th has 'shades of Sandy Lyle' about it.[citation needed ]
