He also won the Masters Tournament but it was a year earlier. He won five times in three of the four Golf Tournaments but in different years. Nick Faldo won six times- that is three times in the Masters and three times in the British Open. In the year 2000, Tiger Woods won three of the four major Golf Tours.
