With a chance to catch Ben Crenshaw, Greg Norman pulled his sand wedge approach to the 71st hole at the Masters, three-putted for bogey, finished third, then blamed his bad luck on a hanging lie in the fairway.

Curtis Strange hit his six-iron approach to the 16th on Sunday during the Ryder Cup way right and bogeyed. If he had hit the green and two-putted, he would have had Nick Faldo dormie and the U.S. would have retained the Cup.
