Photographs by Arthur Bean Match winner: Tom Watson drives from the tee at Mid Ocean's 17th hole on Tuesday to secure the Gillette Tour Challenge title for him and his team of Graham Marsh and Dottie Pepper. They had finished 12-under in the best ball format, level with Dana Quigley, Jeff Sluman and Nancy Lopez, before Watson's drive won the play-off.

Putting their heads together: Sweden's Annika Sorenstam gets some advice on a green from her caddie (left) while last year's champion Jim Furyk, who competed in the recent Ryder Cup, leans down to help team-mate Dave Stockton with his position.

Chipping away: Only four-under after ten holes, Dottie Pepper (above) and team-mates Tom Watson and Graham Marsh hit six birdies and an eagle on the remaining holes to clinch a play-off and ultimately $165,000 apiece for winning the Gillette Tour Challenge title. Pepper is eighth on the LPGA money list with earnings of $577,8765 so far this year.
