With a career as rich and varied as Sandy Lyle's - Open Champion, 3-times European Champion, World Match Play winner and a regular face on Britain's Ryder Cup and European Cup teams - it's difficult to single out any one achievement. But the memory that perhaps remains most vivid in the hearts and minds of Scots golf fans was Lyle's famous win at the US Masters in Augusta in 1988, where he became the first British winner of the much sought after green jacket.
