of the Auld Claret Jug If he does he might do it while wearing his green jacket The confidence O'Meara gained only three months ago in winning the Masters proved crucial on a rainy day at Royal Birkdale where sun broke through Sun- day just in time for him to hoist the British Open trophy and give it a kiss on the 18th green O'Meara survived the shifting weather off the Irish Sea to shoot even par far 72 holes only to appland politely when Brian Watts hit a miracle shot out of a bunker on Na 1 8 to force a four-ho- le playoff O'Meara then calmed the nerves that had also popped up at Augusta for a steady performance against a player who had never been in contention in a major before At 41 O'Meara became the oldest player to win two major titles in one year and the first to win the Open and Masters in the same year since Nick Faklo in 1990 -- 'e- In 1991 Baker-Finc- h won at Birkdale playing alongside O'Meara then invited his friend to drink out of the jug with him On Sunday it was O’Meara’s turn as he made his way through light rain with a final round of 68 that appeared to be all he would need When it wasn't he got up from his perch on the grass surrounding the 18th green kissed his wife and went out to birdie the first playoff hole and par the next three to win his first jug After beginning die year as not even the best golfer in a neighborhood that includes Tiger Woods O'Meara can now legitimately claim to be the best in the world - “Even though I’m' nervous even though certain things have transpired throughout my career I realize dial more times than not that I've been able to finish off the deal and get the job done" O'Meara said He got the job done at Birkdale just as he did at Augusta This time he got it done because he was able to master conditions that ranged from howling winds and rain to bright sunshine over four days And in the end he got it done because See BRITISH MIAMI (AP) — A long way from where his original itinerary would have taken

Rice but instead exchanging passes with them in one of those summer charity games long on dunks and bombs and short on defense Brandon's European working vacation was scuttled by the NBA's labor
