"I don't know how I got through the
day. I really don't. I'll never know."
d There was so much going on in his
" mind, Crenshaw said. There were the
J 1
is thoughts of Penick, who first put the 5vear-old
Crenshaw's hands on a golf dub.
d, There was the struggle to turn back the
>y world's greatest players in one of golfs
:k great dramas. And there was the hauntin
ing thought that this was his last, best
s. chance.
?g "At 43, you don't know how many
more chances you'll have," he said,
is He gave himself the chance with a
ie third-round 66 that gave him a share of
r. the lead, then nailed the victory with
ig tournament-turning putts on the 16th
te and 17th greens.
Those birdies gave him a two-shot
ce lead with one hole to go and the freedom
ie to play the last hole conservatively. He
u" missed the green short left ? away from
the trouble ? and made the bogey-5 that
won it.
5n "It was fate. I believe in fate. I was
1C* just a lot luckier than anyone else this
week," he said after his closing 4-under]P
par 68 produced a 274, the third lowest
winning score in Mastei-s history.
"Obviously the best golf I've played

"At least they won't be asking me
why Fve never finished in tKe top 10 in
a major any more," Lftve said.
Australian Greg Norman, with a 68,
and Jay Haas, with a 70, tied for third
at 277. .
In the run down the stretch, it was
a three-man race with Norman and Love
playing together well in front of Cren
shaw, applying the pressure.
Love tied him, momentarily* with a
great approach to two feet for a birdie
on the 17th. Norman took himself out
of it with a three-putt on theK same hole.
But Crenshaw, who dtd not birdie
the reachable par-5 15th all week, saved
his best until the last.
He curled a 6-iron off the slope to six
feet on the 16th and made the birdie
putt to go ahead.
On the 17th, he stroked a 9-iron to
13 feet and dropped the left-to-right
breaking putt into the heart of the cup:
"Maybe the prettiest putt I ever saw in
my life," said the man widely envied as
one of golfs greatest putters.
"I'll remember 16 and 17 as long as
I live," Crenshaw said.
And, of course, hell remember Penick,
the legendaiy teaching pro at the Austin
Country Club and for 31 years the golf
coach at the University of Texas who
came to national attention in his 80s
with the publication of "Harvey Penick's
Little Red Book," one of the best-selling
sports books in history.
"For all his pupils, Harvey will always
be part of us," Crenshaw said.
"He didn't just give golf lessons. He gave
life lessons."
