1993 — Michael Jordan scores
55 points to lead the Chicago Bulls
to a 111-105 victory and a 3-1 lead
over the Phoenix Suns in the NBA
Finals. Jordan is the fifth player to
score 50 in the finals and the first
since Jerry West in 1969.
1999 — Maurice Greene smashes
the 100-meter world record at 9.79
seconds, breaking the previous
mark of 9.84 set by Donovan Bailey
at the 1996 Olympics.
2002 — A runaway winner again
in the U.S. Open, Tiger Woods
becomes the first player since Jack
Nicklaus in 1972 to capture the first
two major championships of the
year with a three-stroke victory at
Bethpage (N.Y.) Black.
2008 — Tiger Woods wins the U.S.
Open in a 19-hole playoff over Rocco
Mediate, his 14th career major. One
shot behind after a collapse no one
saw coming, Woods birdies the
18th hole to force sudden death at
Torrey Pines. Mediate misses a par
putt and Woods only needed a twoputt
par to win the U.S. Open for
the third time.
