NOTES:
Once again Ernie Els outlasted Tom Lehman and Colin Montgomerie last
year, as he posted a one-shot win over Lehman and two strokes better than
Montgomerie. Just like in 1997 when Els defeated Lehman and Monty at the U.S.
Open, the talented South African posted his fourth straight round in the 60's
to edge out the duo. Lehman, who defeated Els at this event in 1997, closed
with a 69 as did 1999 winner Montgomerie. Geoff Ogilvy and Jarmo Sandelin
recorded holes-in-one last year, both on the 17th hole. Ogilvy posted his
during round three while Sandelin accomplished the feat in the final round, as
he finished tied for seventh. This event features one of the strongest fields
in tournament history, as it serves as the final tune-up for next week's
British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club. This year's entries
include no fewer than 12 Major Championship winners who combined have won
27 Major titles. Joining Els and Lehman is the new US Open champion Retief
Goosen along with Seve Ballesteros, John Daly, Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Paul
Lawrie, Sandy Lyle, Greg Norman, José Maria Olazábal and Ian Woosnam. Last
year, American's David Gossett and Matt Kuchar competed as amateurs with
Gossett tying for 15th and Kuchar tying for 22nd. The purse for this week's
event was increased by 1,100,000 pounds from last year. The renewal of The
Scottish Open at Loch Lomond will impact on the completion of the field for
the 130th Open Championship. A total of 15 places will be on offer at Loch
Lomond - the leading eight players not otherwise exempt from the tournament
and the leading seven players and ties within the top 25 of a cumulative money
list from the Volvo Order of Merit events which commenced at the Volvo PGA
Championship and concludes with the Scottish Open at Loch Lomond. Next
week's 130th Open Championship will be defended by world number one Tiger Woods.
