Hits and memories of Rory at Augusta

He’s missed the cut (three times), he’s led after three rounds, he’s notched four top-5s and eight top-10s. There were years he was never really in it, others when he most certainly was.

Cleary: Horror movie, right there on my TV: Greg Norman's Masters of 1996
