Craziest final round ever? 2002 International | Rich Beem and Steve Lowery

FIRST

That was a nice competition

Golf is so much better with a gallery.

What a game of golf!

I had plans to make a video on this, it truly is one of the wildest, most insane finishes to a tournament.

i miss rich beam . nobody loved it more. hope he plays on champion tour

so good !

Rich works for sky sports golf now. Fantastic addition. Love him

When Ashworth was a good clothing company

More international highlights, please!

August 2002 = the month of Beem.

What a joke these guys are, I can shoot +35 why should they be pro and not me?

To hole out 2 times in 3 holes from the fairway is amazing! I chipped in twice in a round before but from only like 15 yards and for birdies.

Why have we never heard of this before?

Why does this look like an intern took vertical video of these highlights from her iPhone pointed at a 13” standard def TV?

Has anyone ever had a better 3 hole stretch than Lowery?? Phenomenal golf

I remember falling out of my chair watching this live! Best finish ever! I was rooting for Lowry at the time. He never looked the part of an athlete, not quite Lumpy, more like JB Holmes. I guess neither did Beemer.

“When I gave you two fingers, how did that feel? That has to be amazing” .....🤔

wow

the main TOUR needs to come back to Denver!

When a win of any kind meant something!!

Lowery’s putting was terrible, lol

Whys he crying

Steve Lowery was fun to watch , thought he would do well on Champions tour. You never know how someones game will age, We will see how well Rich Beems game has held up now that he is 50.

The International was always a cool late summer tournament, the modified Stableford scoring was a nice change up, the guy who ran Castle Pines and this tourney was a little quirky but a great host and hospitality guy.

In high school we would play all 3 formats (stroke, match, points) during the season, so I thought it was perfect that the tour did as well from 1999-2006

Why were they saying points rather than under par??

Damn Lowery his such a good putt at the end. Insane finish

I watched this live and watching it again now, it doesn’t get any less crazy!

Unbelievably, I learned English for the first time back when I was a toddler by watching the 2002 tour. No joke.

Beemer Channeling Sugar Ray Frosted TIps.
Tremendous Lowery.

Could make it from 204 but not from 15 feet. Damn shame

And remember that the original Stableford system had an albatross at +10 instead of +8….
I really miss how crazy this tournament was; it was the highest rated tournament outside the four majors for a number of years, and this was one of the reasons why!

In fact wasn’t Lowery’s last six holes one of everything possible under the system: Bogey, double bogey, par, birdie, eagle, and double eagle (not in order here of course)?

Hole out for an eagle on 15, then double eagle on 17? That's insanity.

It was nuts!!!!

I really miss this tournament.

I went to that final round at Castle Pines. It was easily the most exciting tournament I've ever been to. Lowery sunk long shots on 15 and 17, but a bogey on 16 for him was the difference. Rich Beem had an incredibly hot 2 weeks. He held off Tiger and won the PGA Championship 2 weeks later.

I watched this one. Back in this day it was.... well it was like the NBA finals

Bruh that first shot

Was one of the best events on the PGA Tour. Of course in all their brilliance the Tour eliminated this event.

Rich Beem and Steve Lowery. Two of the most underrated golfers of the late 90's/early 2000's.

I watched this live and when they said Beem makes eagle to clinch this event. I remember thinking 8 pts for a 2 on 17. It's possible. When they announce the pts they say 2 for Birdie 5 for eagle and 8 for the improbable Albatross. This is at altitude. Ball goes further. Lowry hit a 6i. Incredible ending though. That is what makes this event incredible. An eagle erases 5 bogies, not 2. An albatross is 4 birds not 3. What a concept... Birdie fest!!!
