Beem made Tiger a major runner-up for the first time.

Nothing To Lose

Rich Beem was gambling with house money. A failed club pro and former salesman, the free-swinging Beem outdueled golf's best player on its biggest stage -- and has the trophy to prove it. Beem survived a furious charge by Tiger Woods, who birdied his last four holes, to win the PGA Championship by one shot.

Tiger almost Grand | Harig: Leonard blows it

Scores | Beem capitalizes | 'Funk Fest' | Notes

Harig: Good for the game

Tiger Woods' failure to win the Grand Slam certainly was a negative for Tiger, but not for the game of golf.

Murphy: Toasting Beem, a sportswriter's dream

Page 2's Brian Murphy finally finds refreshment at the Weekend Water Cooler, but it's not from the Sparkletts, it's from the attitude of PGA champ Rich Beem.

Rovell: Uncle Beem's an instant hit

Rich Beem's 15 minutes of fame was a boon for instant rice maker.

Riley a surprise third at PGA

Rich Beem winning the PGA Championship was remarkable enough. Chris Riley finishing third was almost as unlikely.

Kraft: Tiger a par machine

Tiger Woods makes highlight reels with his birdies and eagles ... he wins majors with pars.

Kraft: A wild back nine

The leaders played a wild back nine on Saturday to finish the third round.

Frozen Moment: Leonard's stick on 16

Thanks in part to a remarkable 7-iron to 18 inches that set up one of only six birdies all day on the 16th hole, Justin Leonard leads after 54 holes.

Harig: Beem beaming

Not so long ago, Rich Beem didn't know if he wanted to play professional golf. Now, he's contending at a major.
