Southern Open Annual Results 2002

In the last Buick Challenge/Southern Open ever played, PGA Tour rookie Jonathan Byrd shot a career-low 9-under-63
to edge 1999 Challenge winner David Toms by one. Phil Mickelson finished solo 3rd, four strokes back.

Byrd set 72-hole Challenge/Southern records for fewest strokes played as well as most strokes under par.

Tim Herron became the answer to a future trivia question as he made the last stroke (a par putt) in
Buick Challenge/Southern Open history.

Twenty years after attending the 1982 Southern at Green Island, I attended the 2002 Challenge at Pine Mountain.
