Ernie Els' birdie putt, No. 18, final round
Just moments after Scott missed from short range on No. 16, Els drained a 15-footer for birdie on the closing hole to shoot 68 and cut the lead to one, prompting him to toss his ball dramatically into the crowd. About a half hour later, while standing on the practice green, he learned he was the Open champion, making it two majors in a row where the winner was already off the course.
