6. Nick Faldo demolishes Greg Norman, 1996
Greg Norman had yet another chance to win in 1996, taking a six-stroke lead into the final day. After six holes his partner Nick Faldo had only made up one shot. Suddenly, Norman's lead started to dwindle and disappeared altogether when he took three putts at the 11th. Norman lost his nerve and Faldo took the lead finishing five ahead to collect his third green jacket.

5. Gary Player wins from seven behind, 1978
By 1978 Gary Player's Major-winning days were thought to be gone. He was also seven shots short of the leader going into the final round, but from there he dazzled with a majestic 64. It was his third Masters and his ninth and last Major. His terrific round included seven birdies in the last ten holes. He said: "I shot 30 on the back nine and I rimmed the hole three times. I thought to myself it was a good thing those putts didn't go in because if you shoot 27 around Augusta they'll never invite you back".

4. Roberto de Vicenzo’s scorecard gaffe, 1968
Distracted after dropping a shot at the last hole, the Argentinian Roberto de Vicenzo signed for the wrong score after his playing partner, Tommy Aaron, wrote a four for the previous hole instead of de Vicenzo's birdie three. The mistake cost de Vicenzo a shot, along with a play-off with Bob Goalby. "What a stupid I am," lamented the distraught de Vicenzo. Aaron was almost as upset.

3. Scott claims first Aussie green jacket, 2013

There Australians – Marc Leishman, Jason Day and Adam Scott – were well in contention to win the Masters in 2013. But it was Scott who grabbed his chance, holing vital putts in the closing stages to stay in the running. He finished tied with Argentina’s Angel Cabrera and on the second playoff hole he nailed a 12-foot birdie putt to win his first major championship.

2. Golden Bear out of hibernation, 1986
Going into the Masters in 1986 Jack Nicklaus had not finished higher than 39th in his previous seven tournaments. Greg Norman was leading the field and the 46-year-old Nicklaus was only four behind – but then the magic started. He birdied 10, 11 and 13, but his play on 15 was what made the impossible start to look possible. There Nicklaus knocked in an eagle and he then almost holed his tee shot on 16 – his play was met by roaring crowds as he took the lead. When Seve Ballesteros went in the water on 15 and Norman dropped a shot, Nicklaus went on to win his record sixth green jacket – he was 46 years 82 days old.

1. Tiger arrives, 1997
Tiger woods rewrote the record books in 1997 – his first major as a professional. He had a quiet first round of 70, then incredibly scored 66 and 65 in the second and third rounds, taking a lead of nine into the final day – by the end, his lead had extended to 12. "This seems to be the next generation," said Tom Kite, a distant second in his 24th Masters. "He seems to have leapfrogged the rest of the field." Woods established new Masters records for margin of victory and low aggregate (270). He was, at 21 years 104 days, the youngest Masters champion.
