Sometimes a tournament is known more for the one who lost than the person who won. In the case of the 1999 Open at Carnoustie, it would be very hard to argue that Paul Lawrie is the name that first comes to mind.
The Scotsman has a Claret Jug and a spot in the tournament every year -- and he prevailed due to an underrated final round that put him in position to win in a playoff -- but it is the Frenchman, Jean Van de Velde, who is most associated with the venue and the tournament.
