finished 2nd in the other 3 a total of 7 times


4 of those were playoff losses.

He had some terrible luck but he also really struggled under pressure or he would have had 4 or more.

75 in a playoff at the 1984 US Open
Final hole at the 1986 Masters
76 final round at the 1986 PGA
Final hole at the 1989 Masters
Missed putt in the 1993 PGA playoff
73 final round at the 1995 US Open
77 final round at the 2008 British Open (He was pretty old at that point)

Faldo, who shot a final-round 67, embraced Norman after completing his round. "I don't know what to say to you," he told him. "I just want to give you a hug."


He also told him, "don't let the bastards get you down."
I believe he was referring to the sports media.

What is this 91 tournaments for Norman? Don’t Tiger and Snead hold that record at 81 or 82?

ETA - I guess those are PGA Tour wins
