Largest final-round comeback at the Masters

In recent years, the Masters champion has come out of one of the final pairings. But in 1956, Jack Burke Jr. made history. He came from eight shots back in the final round to defeat amateur Ken Venturi by a shot, setting the record for largest comeback at the Masters.

In 1996, Nick Faldo rallied from a six-shot deficit to Greg Norman entering the final day to win his third green jacket.

In 2011, Charl Schwartzel trailed Rory McIlroy by four shots after 54 holes. The South African birdied the final four holes for the victory.
