Oregon quarterback Joey Harrington is the
new Pac-10 offensive player o f the year.
INDIO, Calif.— When Skins Game officials
devised a new rule that made winning a skin
much more difficult, they did so in the hopes
that one player would win the entire $ 1 million
purse on a single hole.
They had to settle for one player winning
it all on two holes instead.
Greg Norman walked away from Landmark
Golf Club in Indio, Calif, on Sunday with all 18
skins and a check for $ 1 million, while playing
partners Tiger Woods, Colin Montgomerie
and Jesper Pamevik were all left empty-handed
— the first time in the 19-year history of the
Skins Game that one player swept the match.
“I knew coming out here I had to play solid,
consistent golf, and I did all week,” Norman
said.
W hile he played solid golf throughout the
weekend, Norman also benefited from the new
format, in which a player needed to win or
halve the following hole in order to validate a
skin won on the previous hole.
The bulk of N orm an's winnings came on
the par-5 18th hole, where his three-foot putt
for par validated his skin from the previous
hole and earned him $800,000 - more money
than he earned during any single tournament
in his Hall of Fame career. It also helped him set
seven Skins Game records.
For good measure, Norman sank a birdie
putt on the second playoff hole to win the one
remaining skin - a Toyota Super Skin worth
$200.000.
Norman only needed a two-putt for par on

the 18th because all three of his opponents
got a little too aggressive on their respective
approach shots.
Pam evik’s second shot clipped the lip of
a fairway bunker and left him 148 y ards from
the green. Woods and Montgomerie were no
less fortunate, as both found the lake to the
left of the green.
Norman had put himself in position to be
Sunday’s big winner by sinking a 12-foot
birdie putt on 17. In the process, he also cost
Pamevik a big payday. Pamevik had made a
difficult 21-foot putt for birdie on the previ­
ous hole and was hoping his tap-in for par
would have been sufficient to validate the
$730,000 skin.
It w asn’t.
W hile the change in format undoubtedly
added some excitement to the closing holes,
it also cost everyone but Norman a little
money. Under the old format, all four players
would have won at least one skin and Pamevik
would have been the big winner with 11 skins
and $605,000.
Even so, none of the players appeared to
be dissatisfied with the new format.
