Mark Calcavecchia became the first player since 1975 to win The Open in a play-off, which was notable on two counts.
It was the first three-way play-off - Australians Greg Norman and Wayne Grady were the runners-up - and it was the first play-off to be contested over four holes instead of a full extra round.
Calcavecchia, who grew up playing golf in Florida, birdied the 18th hole twice on the same day to win the Claret Jug - playing in only his third Open.
