Moments

  1. 2000 U.S. Women's Open Leading by four entering the final round, Webb hit into the water and double-bogeyed the 7th, and Meg Mallon's 30-foot uphill birdie putt at the 9th then wiped out the lead entirely.
  2. 2000 U.S. Women's Open At the 10th Mallon three-putted for bogey while Webb holed a 10-foot birdie putt, a two-stroke swing that restored Webb's lead; she finished with a birdie at the 18th to win by five.
  3. 2001 U.S. Women's Open At the par-4 7th in the final round Webb hit a 6-iron to 16 feet and holed the birdie putt while Se Ri Pak missed a 15-footer for par, leaving Webb six strokes clear with 11 holes to play.
  4. 2001 U.S. Women's Open Webb closed with birdies on the last two holes, banging in a 40-footer at the 17th (the hardest hole at Pine Needles) and a 20-footer at the 18th, then kissed the ball and threw it into the stands.
