| 1999 Masters | |
Remember Tiger Woods' famous chip-in on the 16th hole at the 2005 Masters - the one he aimed away from hole, the ball running down the slope to the hole? Davis Love III did it first, and Love did it here - making almost the exact same hole-out at No. 16 - in the 1999 Masters.
Why is Woods' chip legendary while Love's is mostly forgotten? Because Woods went on to victory, Love didn't. Love finished in solo second for the second time in his Masters career.
Jose Maria Olazabal also accomplished something for the second time at The Masters: Winning. Olazabal, the 1994 winner, claimed this Masters championship with a solid 71 in the final round that included birdying the 13th and 15th holes.
Alone in third was Greg Norman, the hard-luck loser of several Masters who came up just short once again. The 1999 Masters turned out to be the final time Norman was able to challenge for the Green Jacket.
