What Happened at the 1999 Masters Tournament

Jose Maria Olazabal accomplished something for the second time at The Masters: Winning. Olazabal, previously the 1994 Masters champ, claimed this Masters championship with a solid 71 in the final round that included birdying the 13th and 15th holes.

Olazabal took the lead with a second-round 66, and despite a 73 in the third round still led by one stroke entering the final round.

The runner-up was Davis Love III, who pulled off a shot that is legendary, only for a different golfer. Explanation: 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. The difference? Woods won The Masters where he pulled off that 16th-hole chip; Love finished two strokes behind the winner.

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 challenged for a win at Augusta National. Norman eagled the 13th hole to tie Olazabal's lead, but then bogeyed the 14th and 15th holes.

Nineteen-year-old Sergio Garcia finished as low amateur in his Masters Tournament debut. Raymond Floyd, 1976 Masters champ, made the cut for the last time in a Masters. Garcia and Floyd tied for 38th place.

During the third round, Steve Pate ran off a streak of seven consecutive birdies, the first to do so in any Masters Tournament.
