The Open Championship
Runner-up: Rodger Davis
Nick Faldo won his first major at Muirfield by playing 18 consecutive pars in the final round — one of the most methodical, disciplined championship rounds ever played. Faldo had rebuilt his swing from scratch with David Leadbetter. Rodger Davis and Paul Azinger finished joint second. Faldo's new swing delivered its first major triumph.
