Hamilton wins British Open

TROON (SCOTLAND), JULY 19. Toughened by a 12-year journey through some of the most obscure outposts in golf, Todd Hamilton finally arrived in a major way on Sunday with a play-off victory over Ernie Els to win the British Open.

A year ago, he did not even have a PGA Tour card.

Hamilton made four pars in the play-off, the last one the toughest of all. From 40 yards short of the cup, he used a utility club to bump the ball along the crusty grass to within 2 feet of the cup. Els had one last chance, but missed a 15-foot birdie putt. — AP
