A picture taken just after the conclusion of the 1989 Masters displays how the fortunes of British and European golf had changed through that decade. A kilted Sandy Lyle helps a beaming Nick Faldo into a slightly ill-fitting green jacket. After 53 years without a Masters champion, Britain had produced two in consecutive years. After Lyle had played his famous shot from the bunker and then danced a jig on the 18th green in 1988, Faldo followed the Scotsman’s success with a memorable playoff victory over a disconsolate Scott Hoch in 1989.
