Dekowski wins in style
 
A memorable performance by USA Hall of Famer Donovan Dekowski as he begins to show the form which would catapult him up the World Rankings. At about the same time as David Duval was making waves on the PGA Tour with his winning final round 59 at the Bob Hope - our man DoubleD was carding a magnificent nineteen under par 53 in the final round to snatch the title from an impressive Soccerbum, who also performed heroically to finish just one shot shy of the title.Bomber just managed to hold off MillerLight to finish third. Dekowski pocketed a cool half-million dollars and more to lead the money list at this stage of the season. Donovan, who had burst onto the scene during the 1998 season, would continue to excel in the game all year, culminating in a famous Ryder Cup singles win against the then-world number one player, Swedish sensation Anders Bernsveden. He would end the season as USA's Ryder Cup MVP with a flawless 3-0 record.


Nike Tours:

Masters Tier: Krokus
Pro Tier: Xtreme Titanium
Amateur Tier: Sandman
Club Tier: Cout

In the other tiers, Krokus would show signs of his returning form - by the end of the season, Ken would be right in the thick of Ryder Cup action and back to his brilliant best. Xtreme Titanium secured an impressive win and it's good to see him back in the fold for 2000. British hero Sandman collected one of his many titles here, and Canadian Cout added this title to his CV before retiring from the tour.
