Lawrie's finest hour was at Carnoustie
Introduction
Aberdonian Paul Lawrie was considered to be just another very promising professional until the 1999 Open Championship at Carnoustie. He burnt up the course on the last day coming from 10 strokes behind to catch the leaders.
He forced a play-off against Justin Leonard and Frenchman Jean Van de Velde, who'd bombed earlier out when his ball went in a ditch.
Lawrie was immediately propelled into the elite band of golfers that have claimed golf's oldest major championship. The Scotsman has been a professional golfer since he was 17 years-old. And his famous win shows, hard work and dedication to your sport will eventually pay off.
