1988: Greg LeMond won the Tour de France for the second time, beating Laurent
Fignon by a mere eight seconds.

2000: Tiger Woods won the Open Championship at St Andrews by eight shots. The
American, who a few months earlier had won the US Open by the biggest margin in
major championship history, became only the fifth player to have won all four
major titles after his triumph at the home of golf.

death of his father.

American Floyd Landis won the Tour de France but, in one of the sport's biggest
scandals, later tested positive for a banned substance. After a long legal
battle, he was later stripped of his title and banned for two years.
