Leader after second round: Ernie Els and Mark O'Meara, 131
Leader after third round: Ernie Els, 197
Notable Notes: Journeyman Michael Bradley opened the tournament by tying the major championship scoring record of 63. Steve Elkington came close to equalling that with a final-round 64 - but still needed a sudden-death playoff to beat Colin Montgomerie for the title. Elkington and Montgomerie, who shot 65 in Round 4, finished at 267, two strokes ahead of Ernie Els and Jeff Maggert. Els took a 3-stroke lead after three rounds, but closed with a 72 to drop back. Elkington finished the playoff quickly with a birdie on the first extra hole.
