Justin Leonard at Royal Troon | Great Open Rounds

Five strokes behind after 54 holes at Royal Troon in 1997, the former US Amateur champion won by three from Darren Clarke and Jesper Parnevik thanks to a superb six under par 65.

Nobody had won the Claret Jug from more than five shots back in the final round before, but only two years later Paul Lawrie did it from 10 adrift at Carnoustie, beating Leonard and Jean Van de Velde in a play-off.
