As with Nick Faldo at Augusta in and Paul Lawrie at Carnoustie inwhose feats were subordinated to the collapses of Greg Norman and Jean Van de Velde, Wall's amazing finish was largely forgotten soon afterward.

At the 18th, Wall's 9-iron approach left him 12 feet away.

He concluded that his putt would break both left and right, so he aimed straight at the hole and poured home one final birdie putt. He would also win the Buick Open later that bar. Moreover, he won 14 times on the PGA Tour, with his first in and his final win inan admirable display of longevity.
