THE STORY

What to know

More than the defeats

The Great White Shark won internationally and spent years atop the world ranking. His career should not be reduced to its painful finishes.

The extraordinary 1986 season

He led after three rounds in all four majors and won ten times worldwide. Only The Open converted into a major victory.

Attacking championship golf

The Hall describes an aggressive style. At Turnberry in 1986, a second-round 63 in wind helped create the winning opportunity.

A second Claret Jug

The 1993 Open confirmed that his major record was not confined to one remarkable season. He added THE PLAYERS the following year.
