The golfer reached the 72nd hole of the tournament, and made a birdie putt that ended up being the winning putt. On the final hole, Palmer struck his approach shot to four feet from the hole, then sank the putt to beat runner-up The ball stopped about 10 feet from the hole, and Lyle sank the birdie putt to win. His approach shot on the last stopped 18 feet from the cup, and after sinking that birdie Mickelson jumped into the air in celebration.
Harris won one U.S. Amateur and won once on the PGA Tour: Another professional win was in the 1963 Oklahoma Open (not a PGA Tour event), which he won while still an amateur. His vanquished opponents included reigning U. S. Publinx champ and future PGA Tour pro R.H. Sikes; future PGA Tour pro Homero Blancas, who one month earlier had recorded a score of 55; and amateur legend Billy Joe Patton. Following the U. S. Open, Harris turned pro in the second half of 1964 and joined the PGA Tour.
The Augusta National Par-3 Course occupies a small slice of the larger grounds at Augusta National Golf Club, but every year it is the site of The Masters Tournament Par-3 Contest, which makes it by far the most-famous par-3 golf course on the planet. The Augusta National Par-3 Course is nine holes long, all of them, naturally, par-3 holes. Also note that the handicap ratings simply follow the length of the holes: The longest hole (the sixth) is the No. 1 handicap hole; the shortest (No. 2) is the No. 9 handicap hole. Course architect Alister MacKenzie included plans for a par-3 course in his original Augusta National designs, one version being nine holes and 500 yards in length, another version using multiple tees to produce a nine-hole layout designed to be played twice for a 2,400-yard length.
Which golfers finished the year 2001 in the Top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking? The other four victories were in the Bay Hill Invitational, Players Championship, Memorial Tournament and WGC NEC Invitational. These were the Top 50 golfers in the final Official World Golf Ranking of the calendar year 2001 (the number is the player's average ranking points earned per tournament): Comparing the above end-of-2001 rankings with the end-of-2000 rankings, the biggest jump from outside the Top 50 into the Top 50 from 2000 to 2001 was by Charles Howell III, who improved from No. 324 to No. 45.
