1998 Masters Tournament Winner and Scores
Winner: Mark O'Meara, 279
Where it was played: Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia
Tournament dates: April 9-12, 1998
Leader after first round: Fred Couples, 69
Leader after second round: Fred Couples and David Duval, 139
Leader after third round: Fred Couples, 210
Notable Notes: Mark O'Meara was a regular winner on the PGA Tour prior to 1998, but had no majors to show for it. Then he befriended Tiger Woods and played regular money matches against Tiger in practice. And won two majors in 1998 (including the British Open later in the year). Coincidence? O'Meara didn't think so.
Fred Couples shared or held the lead the first three rounds, but shot 70 in Round 4. So O'Meara's 67 was good enough to jump ahead of Couples for the win. O'Meara birdied three of his last four holes, including the winning 20-foot putt on the 72nd hole.
Jack Nicklaus, at age 58, finished sixth.
