Few
golfers possess the combination of
youth and achievement of runner-up
26-year-old Justin Leonard. The 1997
British Open champion and 1998
Players Championship winner is
already ranked No. 69 in career PGA
Tour earnings and seems destined to
continue climbing up the list. Known
for his through preparation, precise
ball striking and imaginative
short-game skills, Leonard
nonetheless can "take it low" in
final-round play; his strong iron
play makes him a favorite in the Par
3 Challenge. Leonard's blistering
final-round score of 65 at the 1997
Kemper Open brought him back from a
five stroke deficit to win the
tournament. In final-round play of
last year's British Open at Royal
Toon, Leonard again shot a 65, good
enough for a three-stroke win over
Jesper Parnevik and Darren Clarke.
