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 STANDINI Oakland Denver Seattle San Diego Kansas City L 2 5 5 6 7 I Est 0 0 0 0 0 .800 545 .500 .454 .300 NEC 5-2-0 340 5-30 3-50 2-5-0 B y 4-1-0 2-3-0 2-24) 1-34) 2-24) UST Miami N.Y.Jets New England Indianapolis Buffalo Pittsburgh Baltimore Cleveland Cincinnati Tennessee Jacksonville 7 7 6 4 1 8 7 6 4 4 3 2 4 4 6 6 7 6-2-0 51-0 4 44) 4 44) 1-84) 4-1-0 32-0 334) 0-50 G io m iL .800 0 .636 0 .600 0 0 .400 .400 0 300 0 7-24) 6-34) 53-0 3-50 2-6-0 3-7-0 524) 530 4-2-0 244) 2-50 350 B y 4-20 2-20 320 1-30 2-30 L 1 2 4 5 10 I Eel 0 0 0 0 0 .889 .8«) .600 500 .091 NFC 51-0 6-24) 6-30 3-34) 1430 Time To Get a Cell Phone?

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. MFC wm Ä 8 S t Louis San Francisco 8 Atlanta 6 New Orleans 5 1 Carolina ¿lip this.
