Greg Norman won the entire $1 million purse at the 19th annual Skins Game on Sunday, sending Tiger Woods, defending champion Colin Montgomerie and Jesper Parnevik home empty-handed.
The Australian followed a birdie putt that won the 17th hole with a conservative two-putt par on 18 that was worth $800,000. He collected the remaining $200,000 on the second extra hole at the Landmark Golf Club.
Norman had predicted the rule changes would mean the annual made-for-TV event may go down to the last hole with the full $1 million on the line.
Under the new format, a player who wins a skin could not collect the money unless he won or tied for the lowest score on the next hole.
As a result, the entire $300,000 up for grabs on the front nine on Saturday rolled over to Sunday and the pot for each hole kept growing as no one managed to win a skin early on the back nine.
In three previous appearances in the Skins Game, Norman had pocketed $200,000. He quadrupled that haul with one putt on Sunday.
