Jason Logan: A Rory McIlroy Masters win would be the ultimate edge on Greg Norman
The tournament’s co-founder, Bobby Jones, is on that ledger, but of the dozen he played, most were in a ceremonial role, his game and health having declined by the time the major found its footing.
Later, major champions Gene Littler and Julius Boros were in the mix many times without winning. Littler had eight top-10 finishes at the Masters, including a runner-up in 1970, and Boros seven, including a tie for third in 1963. Then there’s Greg Norman. A dominant player in the 1980s and ‘90s, Norman suffered several heartbreaks at the Masters. He held the 54-hole lead in 1986 and could have forced a playoff with 46-year-old Jack Nicklaus by making par on the final hole, but he pushed his approach shot well right of the green and failed to get up and down.
