closed with a final round 71 to leave him on 14 under par 274.

with 3 early birdies but Owen responded with 3 consecutive birdies

Annika Sorenstam does what she does best Sunday
when she won her 5th Major title on the LPGA Tour. Sorenstam
defeated Grace Park at the first extra hole when she pared the
18th hole to Park's bogey. Starting the day 4 clear after finishing
her third round earlier in the day, Sorenstam looked to be on
her way to another easy win but Park had not read the script.
Park closed with a final round 67 to catch the Swede. Sorenstam
made a great par on the final hole of regulation to force the
play off before going on to do the same thing again in extra
time to claim the win.

was Jacobs that took the lead when he sunk a long birdie putt
to move 1 clear. Both players found the green on the par 5 16th

Nick Price (69-65-66-67--267, 13 under)
Starting the day 8 shots clear of the field it
was always going to take something special to even get near
to Kenny Perry let alone beat him. Well Justin Leonard gave
it his best shot when he came to the final hole needing to make
birdie to shoot 59. He ended up backing bogey when his approach
shot came up short and when he failed to hole the following
pitch shot that went past the hole by some 10 feet his chance
at the magic number had gone. He even missed the return putt
for par to end up shooting 61. Perry on the other hand played
solidly all day after a third round of 61 and a final round
of 68 left him on a tournament record score of 19 under par
261 and a 6 shot victory. Earlier in the week all the news was
about Annika Sorenstam who become the first female player to
play on the PGA Tour in some 50 years. Sorenstam shot 2 credible
rounds of 71 and 74 but she missed the cut by 4 shots. She claims
this was a one off event, but who knows!

Ignacio Garrido birdied the first play off hole
to defeat South African Trevor Immelman and claim the prestigious
PGA Championship at Wentworth. Both players finished on 18 under
par 270. Immelman had started the day in the lead but Garrido
charged through the field with a closing round of 67 to set the
target of 18 under. Immelman was 2 back with 2 to play but was
able to birdie both the par-5 17 and 18 holes to force the play
off. Immelman found the green at the 18th again in 2 shots as
Garrido hit his approach into the right trees only to see it kick
out into the greenside rough. From there he hit a great approach
pitch to 3 feet. Immelman left his first putt 5 feet short then
lipped his second putt out leaving Garrido the simple task of
holing his short putt. He did and the title and 5 year exemption
on tour was his.

finish alone in 3rd place. Inkster birdied the 8th to get to
20 under par and claim the lead for the first time. She never
looked back and with birdies on 10, 11 and 12 she moved well
clear of the field. A final birdie from the fairway bunker on
17 rapped up the title and a safe par at the last gave her the
record equalling score.
