On April 8,  1990  Nick Faldo becomes only the second golfer in Masters history to successfully defend his title after he defeats Floyd on the second sudden-death playoff hole. Faldo won his first Masters a year earlier after defeating Scott Hoch on the second sudden-death playoff hole as well. Hoch had missed a 36-inch putt on the first extra hole to win.
