Your rgiht Kev about his great playing on Sunday, from your perspective he WON those tourneys. THey way i remember them is Hoch missing that short putt, Floyd bogeying the 71st hole after a mental error and then hitting the ball in the drink on 11 in the playoff (can't ever remember Floyd choking that bad). Norman's collapse was something hard to believe. On Thursady he tied the course record with a 63 and the shoots 78 on sunday - A FULL 15 strokes different , almost 1 stroke a hole for a top 3 player at the time.
Faldo's great SUnday rounds seem to get lost in the mix , because of the horror shows created by the guys that lost.
That being said I don't ever forget his wins at the British Open - His win in 1990 at the Old Course was as good a performance in a major as any of the ones I have seen (including Tiger).
