there have been many great final rounds to finish majors over the years but which do you think really stands out?
personally faldo's 18 straight pars at muirfield in '87 i feel has to be up there - even more so than his triumph at augusta in '96 where it could be argued norman lost it.
it is hard to seperate this from the classic 1977 open dual in the sun between nicklaus and watson - brilliant golf in the peak of their careers under huge pressure, watson obviously overcame his great master.
but also hubert green in the 70's in what i think was the u.s. open - was told he was about to be shot from someone in the crowd, but nevertheless battled on. as underrated as this round is (not many people remember) the added pressure to playing a final round in a major must have been unbelievable.
for golfing purists tho - i think faldo's first major win was just superb.
