Maybe nobody realized it at the time, but Bernhard Langer's second Masters triumph 30 years ago changed golf forever.
In 1993, the German already had a green jacket in his closet — winning the Masters in 1985 — and had played in every Ryder Cup since 1981. Putting, though, repeatedly plagued his career.
Langer has battled the putting yips four times. The first was early in his career while playing with a conventual grip. Langer once recalled how during the 1976 Hennessy Cup match, opponents, out of courtesy or sympathy, would concede putts inside a foot, because they knew he'd miss.
