He was in the last group at the Masters this year which was won by Z. Johnson a couple of groups ahead. I also think he was beaten by Hal Sutton at The Players one year although that is not a major. It is the closest thing to it, though. Those are the only two instances that come to mind.

You are right, I forgot about Zach Johnson, he became the first Masters winner since Nick Faldo in 1990 not to come from the final pairing. That's pretty special. I remember Hals deal that went into a Monday, but that wasn't a major.....but they act like it is....? Maybe one day that will be the 5th?

I think it already gets more hype than the PGA, which is to me the weakest major. They have to wait for Woods to break Jack's record and maybe then they can re-categorize.
