Lawrence Hogan "Larry" Mize (born September 23, 1958) is an American golfer. Despite a creditable career on the PGA Tour, he is mainly known for just one shot ? the chip from off the green at the 11th hole at Augusta to win the playoff for the 1987 Masters Tournament, which remains his only major title.
