Practice, Practice, Practice is the theory which Tom Kite applied over his PGA career. It worked well for the Texan leading to a long distinguihed career on the Tour which had its high point at Pebble Beach in 1992 when he claimed the US Open title
Janzen is best known for twice winning the U.S. Open, in 1993 and 1998. He has won eight times on the PGA Tour. In 1993, Janzen defeated Payne Stewart at Baltusrol in Springfield, New Jersey, en route to tying the 72-hole U.S. Open scoring record of 8-under par. Five years later, he again beat out Stewart to win his second U.S. Open, this time at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. He overcame a five stroke deficit on Sunday, marking the best final-round comeback in a U.S. Open for 25 years since Johnny Miller's win in 1973. Baltusrol is the site of Janzen's 1993 US Open victory, his first major championship.
With one of the purest swings in the game over the last twenty years, Ernie Els notched two US and one British Open titles in his Hall of Fame career which seems to be reviving in 2012.
Corey Pavin claimed his lone Major title, beating runner-up Greg Norman by 2 strokes, at the 1995 US Open at Shinnecock Hills.
A long time member of the PGA Tour, Steve Jones did not achieve much success. Coming back in full force after damaging his finger in a dirtbike accident and missing nearly 3 years, Steve started his journey in 1995. Jones claimed the 1996 U.S. Open title by defeating Tom Lehman and Davis Love III by a single stroke. He became the first sectional qualifier to win the tournament since Jerry Pate did it in 1976
