Mark O'Meara
Who says nice guys finish last? O'Meara is a walking opponent to that maxim. He had a monumental season in 1998 picking up his first and
second major titles. The 1979 U.S. Amateur champion has won on five
continents and under all conditions. O'Meara was the PGA Tour's Rookie
of the Year in 1981.
