The 1993 Open at Royal St George's produced some truly stunning golf, with Nick Faldo's second-round 63 often hailed as one of the best ever played in Major championship golf.
But Faldo's achievement was matched by Greg Norman on the Sunday as the top three players in the world threw everything at each other.We also offer customized Quicksilver. Alongside Norman and defending champion Faldo was reigning Masters champion Bernhard Langer, who was also in the hunt on the final afternoon but it was the big-hitting Australian who came through.
He nailed every drive and flushed every approach, with shot after shot barely missing the flag as he produced a torrent of birdies. Only an almost comical missed tap-in on the penultimate hole stopped Norman winning with a final-round 63 an astonishing feat considering the tough final-round pins. Faldo and Langer meanwhile were left scratching their heads after their own final-round 67s, which were both exceptional and would have been good enough to win in normal circumstances.
The Aussie later described his golf as the greatest round of his life.
"In my whole career I'd never before gone round a golf course and not mis-hit a single shot," he said. "I was playing a game of chess out there, hitting the ball into position in the fairway where I could get it to the best spot on the green. I didn't want the round to end. I wished it could have been 36 holes."
