Faldo shows the way on coming from behind at the Masters (The Associated Press)

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- No lead is too safe at the Masters. No deficit is too daunting.

And no one can appreciate that more than Nick Faldo.

Twenty years ago, Faldo won his third green jacket in what remains the greatest collapse in major championship history over the final 18 holes. Six shots behind going into the final round, Faldo closed with a 67 that will never get enough credit because Greg Norman shot a 78.

That was the most famous turnaround. It wasn't the only one involving Faldo.

Faldo was five shots behind in 1989 when he closed with a 65 and beat Scott Hoch in a playoff.
