Lee Janzen began the final round with an one-shot lead over Payne Stewart. He still held the lead at the turn, when at the 10th his drive settled in thick rough and behind trees. Somehow Janzen's approach went through the branches and found the green, where he made par. He eventually lost the lead, however, after three-putting at the 12th. A birdie at 14 put Janzen back on top, but after finding trouble at 15 he needed another miraculous shot. Well short of the green and in deep rough, his 30-foot chip found the hole for an unlikely birdie. After Stewart missed a lengthy putt for birdie, Janzen held a two-shot lead with just two to play. Another lucky break for Janzen came at the 17th, when his drive hit a tree and deflected back into the fairway. Both players made par, and at the last Janzen hit a brilliant 4-iron approach from the deep rough to set up another birdie and seal the victory. |
