| | 2001 Holden Australian Open Golf Championships - The Grand Golf Club, Gold Coast Queensland. Greg Norman, Nick Faldo, Aaron Baddeley, Mark O'Meara, Stuart Appleby, Robert Allenby. |
 | | Laycock birdied the opening two holes before a run of seven successive pars was broken when he brilliantly chipped in his approach to the par four 10th, and a bogey at the very next hole became a distant memory when he birdied the 15th and 18th holes. |
 | | The controversial 10th was next and the green with perhaps the most severe slope in Australian golf had seen its fair share of drama throughout the final round with player after player struggling to handle the pace and break in the green. |
 | | After opening with six straight pars, Els bogeyed the seventh and eighth holes to slip back to minus three and five adrift of then leader Pampling, but then hit a purple patch, collecting birdies at the ninth, 10th and 13th holes, and holing a monster eagle putt at 12. |
