1998 Masters Tournament Winner and Scores

The Masters was played for the 62nd time in 1998. Mark O'Meara won his first major championship with a birdie on the final hole.

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.

The Vijay Singh Cheating Incident Explained

Image
Vijay Singh has had a long and very successful career as a pro golfer, including three major championships and a 2004 season in which he won nine times on the PGA Tour. But there's also something in Singh's career that he'd like to forget, and that he'd prefer everyone else forget, too. Allegations of cheating at a tournament on the precursor to the Asian Tour in 1985. Actually, we don't even have to refer to the incident as being mere "allegations," since tournament officials concluded that Singh did , in fact, cheat, and the regional governing organization banned him from the tour (today's Asian Tour was not officially founded until 1995). ( Related : The Colin Montgomerie cheating allegation explained ) Here's what happened. Vijay Singh was 22 years old when he showed up at the 1985 Indonesian Open in Jakarta. Like most young pros in the first year as a tour player, Vijay was having his ups and downs — mostly downs. He badly needed a
