1986 Rewind in Golf

This post is to remember greatness, even when it was a "What If ."

Greg Norman won the British Open that year.

But what is truly crazy is that led all 4 majors after Saturday nite.
Greg Norman played in the final group in all 4!
They call it the Saturday Slam when making jest at Norman.

He bogied 18 at the Masters to lose to Jack.
Shot a 75 in the US open to lose.
Won the British in a truly crazy display of talent.
Then lost the PGA  when Bob Tway holed out from the bunker on 18.

Snake Bit? Norman then lost the next major in wild fashion.
He lost a playoff to Larry Mize at the Masters when Mize holed out from 45 yards to win the Masters.
