Tiger Woods completed his career Grand Slam in a dominant performance at St. Andrews. At 24, he became the youngest player to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus with all four majors on his resume. Woods' 269 total was the lowest score ever shot in a British Open at the Old Course and his eight-stroke victory margin over Ernie Els and Thomas Bjorn was the largest since J.H. Taylor beat Ted Ray by the same amount in 1913. Woods made 22 birdies that week and never once found himself in any of the 128 vexing bunkers at St. Andrews. "He's raised the bar to a level only he can reach," Tom Watson said.
