Sills finished at 12-under-par 204 as did Gil Morgan. Sills parred the first playoff hole and Morgan bogeyed.  1991 They called this one the Mulligan. With the Independent Insurance Agents of America as a Lame Duck title sponsor, rain poured the week of April 4-7, postponing the tournament. Quick-thinking salvaged a Sunday TV telecast for the IIAA. Players participated in a $100,000 scramble with the proceeds going to the Desert Storm Relief Fund the American Junior Golf Foundation. Rescheduled in a vacant slot in the fall schedule, the tournament known as the Mulligan previewed what would be its new name. On Tuesday of tournament week officials announced the Shell Houston Open would be a part of the 1992 schedule. For the record South African Fulton Allem won with a 13-under-par 275 total, one stroke better than Billy Ray Brown, Tom Kite and Mike Hulbert. Coincidentally, Hulbert had teamed with Bobby Wadkins and Robert Wrenn to win the IIAA made-for-TV scramble in the spring.  1992 Bolstered by perfect weather and a record 10-under-par 62 on Saturday, Fred Funk won the first Shell Houston Open by two strokes with a 16-under-par 272 total. Funk became the third consecutive first-time winner in Houston. Duke Butler left the Houston Golf Association to assume duties with the PGA TOUR and then-president Ken Stockton added tournament director to his list of things to do. The first thing Stockton wanted to do after the tournament was hire Butler's replacement. In October Eric Fredricksen was hired as Executive Director after a long stint as the General Chairman of the Walt Disney World/Oldsmobile Classic.  1993 Rain washed out Saturday's round but Sunday made for a great finish in the 54-hole event. Ticked off by back-to-back bogeys. Jim McGovern belted a driver off the fairway his second shot on the par-5 15th. The shot rolled to within 4-feet of the cup and McGovern tapped in his eagle putt. McGovern birdied the last hole to tie John Huston at 17-under-par 199. McGovern continued the trend of first-time winners with a 35-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole. The HGA and Shell Oil announced a record $500,000 charitable contribution from the proceeds of the tournament. Thanks to some shrewd drafting by Executive Director Eric Fredricksen, the Shell Houston Open won the Team Charity competition and added $100,000 to that total.  1994 With input from Shell Oil Company president Phil Carroll and George Mitchell of The Woodlands, a HGA committee presented the Charity Partners program to corporate Houston. It was a smashing success. Rookie Mike Heinen fought of challenges from Hal Sutton, Tom Kite and Jeff Maggert to become the tournament's fifth consecutive first-time winner. Despite a rainy Saturday, the tournament netted a record $860,000 for charity.  1995 Popular Payne Stewart came from seven strokes off the pace to force a sudden-death playoff with Scott Hoch at 12-under-par 276. Stewart parred the first extra hole and Hoch made a bogey. The record crowds totaled more than 198,000 for the week. That led to a record charitable donation of $1.6 million to local charities, which pushed the Shell Houston Open to No. 3 on the PGA TOUR in charitable contributions in 1996.  1996 The Houston Golf Association celebrated its 50th Anniversary by brining back many former champions to be a part of the celebration. Mark Brooks coaxed in in curling 30-foot birdie on the first extra hole of sudden-death to defeat Woodlands resident Jeff Maggert. Brooks and Maggert had finished regulation at 14-under-par 274. Another record-setting crowd of 205,000 turned out which helped boost the charitable donation to $1.9 million. That ranked the Shell Houston Open No. 2 on the PGA TOUR in charitable donations.  1997 Playoffs continued to be order of the day on the Tournament Players Course at The Woodlands. Texan Phil Blackmar suffered a double-bogey 6 on the 17th hole to fall into a tie with Kevin Sutherland. They finished regulation at 12-under-par 276. Blackmar birdied the first hole of sudden-death for the victory, marking the eighth time in 13 years the winner of the tournament had to work overtime.  1998 David Duval, one of the brightest young stars on the PGA TOUR, fired a closing 8-under-par 64 for a one-shot victory over hometown favorite Jeff Maggert of The Woodlands, who was frustrated for a second time in three years. Playing on an almost pristine golf course, provided by Superintendent Scott Hamilton, Duval carded 69-70-73-64 for a 12-under-par total worth $360,000. It was Duval's second Houston victory in seven months. He had also won the 1997 TOUR Championship at Champions Golf Club back in November.  1999 Stuart Appleby became the fourth Australian to win Houston's PGA TOUR event when he shot 70-68-70-71 for a nine-under-par 279 total to overcome Hal Sutton. Appleby joined fellow Aussies Bruce Devlin (1972) and Bruce Crampton (1973 & 1975) as a victor from down under. Steve Elkington, Australian by birth and Houstonian by choice, had to withdraw Sunday due to a meningitis flare-up after charging back into contention with a third-round 65. Appleby's win came on his birthday and was his first American TOUR victory since the tragic death of his wife Renay in a freak automobile accident.
