Wow, thanks very much for posting. As a Scot and golf nut, I remember watching this on sunday night back in 88.. Sandy had a nightmare 11 and 12 and I'd thought he'd blown it so I went to bed (didn't want to see it,) Boy did I get that wrong. Big Sandys finest hour and a personal all time sports favourite
Watched this 31 years ago as a 13 year old brings back some memories. To date got to be my greatest sporting moment of all time along with Murray winning first major. What bottle Lyle had bogeying the 11 with 3 putt after playing safe so going right at it on 12 must have thought it was stone dead on the tee. Then 2 birdies in the last 3 holes what a legend
According to his caddie Dave Musgrove, Lyle had mud on his ball for his 2nd shot at 11 - hence it hung out further to the right than he intended. And because it landed on the fringe he still couldn't clean it, causing his first putt to come up six feet short.
You miss your youth. We all do, whatever age we are. Because life is always more fun & optimistic when we're young. Same for every generation since the dawn of time.
Paul, so true. Theres a classic from Peter Aliss at the 1990 masters 3rd round. Stadler just clears the pond on 2nd shot at 15. He smiles and Aliss utters the classic...." Wonderfully expressive face. I wouldnt like a clip round the ear from him I must confess" Awesome.
Thank you so much for putting this up: as a 15 year old in the UK, this was the tournament that made me take up golf. And 7 years later I had the opportunity to work at the Masters as a gallery guard on the 10th, and then return and play the course. Naturally I tried the shot from that bunker - and that lip was really high!!!! Sandy Lyle - proving that, just sometimes, nice guys do finish first.
Darrly Brannen absolutely, even more than tv shows. Everybody that goes to Augusta for the 1st time is always amazing how “hilly” it is. Tv flattens it out, especially the greens.
@@darrlybrannen1597 Yes! Unless you can it hit it long and left, you're left with a horrible downhill lie with a long iron. The other really big hill is the 8th - uphill all the way!!!
I mean when we think of legendary shots at Augusta we think of Mize's chip in at 11, Tigers chip in on 16 - but that shot on 18 from the back fairway bunker from Lyle is one of the most incredible shots ever seen at Augusta and surely the most underrated one. I can't believe he even gets it above the lip with a 7 iron but to then lazer it over the flag and bring it back to what, 8 feet? Freaking incredible.
I remember watching this live in '88. The final hole is imprinted in my mind - Sandy hit his tee shot and looked concerned as I guess he'd really caught it and into the bunker it went. The bunker shot was just a perfectly clean hit and then watching the ball gather momentum and roll back down to the flag. Then the wiggly putt which went in. Amazing. It was a remarkable 4 years for British golf (or if you prefer Scottish 88, English Faldo 89/90 Faldo and Welsh Woosie 91).
I don't think you understand the term "sneaky long". "Sneaky long" means hitting it with a low draw and loads of overspin, giving it fifty yards of run after landing. So the ball ends up a long way out there, without the player having actually carried it a long way through the air. Hence the term "sneaky long". Applies to smaller-looking guys who don't appear all that powerful. Sandy Lyle was just a long powerful hitter through the air - he wasn't a "sneaky long" hitter.
Proud Scotsman loved this quiet discreet guy who never stayed in europe for the easy money he put hiomself up againest the best in the world on the U.S tour oh sandy sandy!!!!!!!!!!!!!still my hero:)
Everyone is talking about the sand shot Sandy did on 18th.. I was stunned by the shot on 13th, a real pressure shot and by far longest and that after 3 over last two holes!
First Masters I ever watched AND my 15 Yr old brain had predicted a Lyle win after he won the Greater Greensboro Open the week before. A short-lived career in sports betting awaited me...
The last Masters hosted by Brent Musburger Also the only time between 1983-1990 that the winner came from the final pairing. After 1990 we had 16 consecutive winners that came from the final pairing.
In 1989, Jim Nantz become a lead host of the Masters Tournament... But from 1986, 1987 and 1988, Nantz did a described from the different holes in Augusta National..
Wow, I had missed this in '88 and never knew how close Calc came to a green jacket. Lot's of great golf down the stretch from both him and Sandy. I always loved Calc's move into his left side. So simple.
I've been watching a lot of the final rounds so far no one who lost the lead by putting in water has managed to recover and win except Lyle, amazing mind set to comeback from that.
I like when they don't show the winner on the thumbnail..even though I've probably watched most of these I still forget who won and I'd like to watch it that way.
Interesting to see Bernhard Langer putting fairly well here. About a month later he went down with a horrendous case of the yips which ruined the remainder of his season.
Venturi, McCord, Wright and Lundquist, it doesn’t get much better than that for commentary. It takes me back to simpler times, when Augusta didn’t have to fend off the long hitters. The Lyle bunker shot on 18 was one of the best closing hole shots in Masters history.
I remember during the honorary starters ceremony Curtis Strange said enjoy these legends because they are not going to be with us much longer meaning, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Tom Watson and to think 35 years later out of all the commentators from this Masters only Verne Lundquist and Jim Nantz remain and this was the last year that Brent Musberger hosted the coverage and Jim Nantz took over in 89. We need to also enjoy legends of broadcasting like Verne Lundquist and Brent Musberger, because they will not be with us much longer even though Brent is retired. So consider in another 10 years there will be another group of honorary starters probably Nick Faldo and Ben Crenshaw and to think during this time Jim Nantz will be the only commentator from this Masters left as he said before he wants to cover this event for as long as possible

Being from west palm beach, fl, i was rooting for Calc, but you have to hand it to Lyle, hitting that great 7 iron, shot out of the bunker on 18. He deserved to win
Remember watching this live 32 years ago, wow where have all these years gone, crazy!!!!! Sandy’s first name is Alexander, but in Scotland anyone with that name is called Sandy. I agree with one of the other comments, Sandy had so much natural talent, in my opinion more than Faldo, and should have won more majors, but tried to get way too technical. He was possibly influenced by Nick Faldo’s success.

Seve never looks as though he is enjoying himself in these mid- to late-80s tournaments. It seems a shame he couldn't have just relaxed and allowed himself to have fun.
Squeak caddying for Couples before going to Price in the 90's... before his early passing from Lukemia. By chance, due to Price being ill, he caddied for Daly in his '91 PGA win.
1988, when international golf was on a hot streak of sorts. Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Ian Woosnam, Sandy Lyle, Greg Norman, Bernhard Langer, Nick Price, Ian Baker-Finch, Jose Maria Olazabal all in their primes. Lyle had such a natural swing, but then in 1992 he tweaked it and was never the same again. Brent Musburger's last Masters as well. While I think in his prime he was one of the best in the business, he never came off as a golf guy. I can see why by this point Jim Nantz was doing a majority of the hosting role, and in 1989 would be given the role officially, which he still has today.
@@MrAJR76 For a guy with 91 career victories worldwide, finishing as the year-end no. 1 seven times, Norman should own more than 2 major titles. Take a look at his record when he was at or just off the top of the leaderboard going into Sunday.
@@threerings1345 He certainly deserved more than two. He lost some majors through silly mistakes, and others undeniably through nerves. But he was also the victim of the role of the dice several times, which doesn't play fair - in life or in golf. How Norman would've loved some of his opponents to miss tiny putts at the death, or hit into water hazards in play-offs. That's how Faldo got gifted three of his majors!
@@MrAJR76In '86 when he led all 4 majors going into Sunday, Norman missed a 15 ft putt by a half-inch at 18 to win at Augusta. Months later at the PGA, Bob Tway holed out from a bunker at 18 to beat Norman who shot 76. Losses like this weren't completely on him though the shark is the only player in the last 80 years to lose all 4 majors in a playoff over the course of his career.
Hard to believe CBS’s coverage was even more insufferably precious back then. The jackets and ties, the reverential comments about the course, the bowing to the golf gods of Sarazen, Sneed, and Jones...enough to make me gag.
The narrow green and the creek angle away from the tee to the right. Anything slightly right and/or short is in the water. Short or long and left, at least you are on dry land. Wind is swirling and unpredictable in that part of the course, making distance control a pill too. I agree with the announcers. It depends on the circumstance, and how you're hitting them at the time. 3-4 back and swinging well, I'm going for it. Any closer to the lead, it's not worth the double bogey+ risk.
He cut his hand as a teenager and had nerve damage. Remained an amatuer as he was from money and had a successful insurance business. Decided at 50 he was competitive for the Senior Tour and decided he could make some money playing it.
No, his yips hadn't started by this point. They began six weeks later, at the end of May (during the PGA at Wentworth). In the remaining majors of '88 he went MC - LAST - MC.
commentators are dreadful compared to brilliant BBC Coverage. Sandys 7 iron from bunker on 72nd hole is still the greatest Masters golf shot of all time.

Cant thank the masters enough for allowing me to watch these classic final rounds steeped in history. Just brilliant. Thankyou.

Lyle was ridiculously gifted, the worst mistake he ever made was getting technical.
Yes and with so much natural power
@@peterbrown6434 And then Woosnam did the same.

I think Lyle might have out hit him
greatest bunker shot in masters history

Cruise control for Sandy up until 11 and 12 but great comeback over closing holes. And he drove the ball incredibly long.

May I add that's the best shot by Sandy i think I've ever seen.....to this day it's still the greatest shot played in major golf
just one of em
No it definitely is not.

Ironically Greg Norman says (in the cabin interview ) on 12 aim center of bunker and fade it.
In 96 he hits it in the water going for flag
He wasn't "going for the flag" in '96, any more than Lyle was here.
They were aiming over the bunker, but mishit their shots, that's all.
I’d love to watch this. But it’s making me sea sick
I bet Bernhard Langer has played more tournament rounds then anybody.
@ 2hrs 7 after Stadler's bunker shot "you'll never see one better than that" ... well well
Is that squeaky on freddys bag??
Yes mate RIIP
Not sure why the commentators keep calling Sandy Lyle, British. He's from Scotland, which is part of the United Kingdom.
Caley Hand If you’re from the United Kingdom you’re British. Sandy Lyle is Scottish and also British. Nick Faldo is English and also British.
Why not go at the flag on 12? It seems like there's not much less green left and right
The narrow green and the creek angle away from the tee to the right. Anything slightly right and/or short is in the water. Short or long and left, at least you are on dry land. Wind is swirling and unpredictable in that part of the course, making distance control a pill too.
I agree with the announcers. It depends on the circumstance, and how you're hitting them at the time. 3-4 back and swinging well, I'm going for it. Any closer to the lead, it's not worth the double bogey+ risk.
was Stadler actually trying to shoot at the flag on 16 with a cut??? 🤦♂
2:47:23 Jay Sigel was 1 of 3 amateurs who make the cut
Lyle's sheer talent power!
Back when patrons were spectators...
The imagination of a Scotsman, roads trains phones.....we're there.
took me 30 minutes to find the leaderboard
Poor form from Ben Crenshaw not shouting "four" after his wayward approach at 15.
anyone know why jay sigel remained an amateur until he was 50?
He cut his hand as a teenager and had nerve damage. Remained an amatuer as he was from money and had a successful insurance business. Decided at 50 he was competitive for the Senior Tour and decided he could make some money playing it.
Bernard langer in the midst of major putting yips and still contending at a major, AWESOME
No, his yips hadn't started by this point. They began six weeks later, at the end of May (during the PGA at Wentworth).
In the remaining majors of '88 he went MC - LAST - MC.
That ping 1 iron, but more to do with the shots that he made with his seven iron that won him the masters.
The great Sandy Lyle... later played the bagpipes in Croc of Tears.
2:35:00 basically not a grain of sand. LolHe earned this major
commentators are dreadful compared to brilliant BBC Coverage. Sandys 7 iron from bunker on 72nd hole is still the greatest Masters golf shot of all time.

Also , I Remember 🤔 Reading The Newspaper 🏡🚗🗞️📰🙇🏻That Next Day. And Reading "Sandy Lyle Wins The 1988 Masters!" ⛳🏌🏻♀️🏆👕😁😎🙂☺️ And I Thinking 🤔To Myself , "Who The Heck Is This Sandy Lyle?"
At Least Sandy Lyle Has Done Something That I Could Never Do!

Ken Venturi sure sure made some dumb comments.
Sandy who ? Oh yeah the guy whos in the last pairing... So yank centric. Really poor coverage here...
Only won the open 3 years before, and the tpc year before....that unknown. Yeah really bad coverage commentary
Hord Hardin forgets Sandy's name lol
No, he was distracted because Lyle had just entered the Butler Cabin and the sound guys were getting him mic'd up, and generally fussing about.
Mark Calca was very powerful man
*Calcavecchia*
The purple panther corroboratively chew because dock formerly murder following a lethal church. tightfisted, wealthy sentence
Venturi is the Donald trump of golf commentators.. Half sentences... Barely coherent.. Knows what everyone is thinking.. Has feelings this or that will happen
I Agree 💯👍🏻
Ken Venturi Must Have Gave The Green Jacket 🟢🧥To Mark Calavecchia , About 3 Different Times , In The Last Hour , Of This Broadcast! 😬🙄🤦🏻🤷🏻🤦🏻
Like , Really Man?
I Thought 🤔 That You TV 📺 Sports Commentators Are Supposed To Be Neutral 😐
Could Have Fooled Me!
ken was great, knew golf and the shots, he lived it. you didn't .
