David Toms won his only major championship, one stroke ahead of runner-up Phil Mickelson. Toms led after 54 holes on the Highlands Course, two strokes ahead of Mickelson. Paired together in the final group, they battled for the lead back-and-forth throughout the day, both in pursuit of their first major. Toms led by one stroke on the 72nd tee, but put his tee shot in the rough. Faced with a long second shot over water, he decided to lay up on the 490 yd 0 on par-4 and rely on his short game. Toms' third shot stopped 12 ft left of the pin, and he sank the putt to save par for the win. His 265 total set the record for the lowest score at a major championship.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=1SQxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=enADAAAAIBAJ&pg=5854%2C8440939 Pittsburgh Post Gazette Dulac Gerry Major Toms August 20, 2001 C1https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Ue4eAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Pz0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=4920%2C10140823 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel D'Amato Gary Wimp?
