<P> Late in the final round, Junuh disregards Bagger's advice at a crucial point and after that plays poorly . He hits a ball into a forest, where he has a traumatic World War I flashback, but Bagger's words help him to focus on the game . Junuh pulls back to a tie with Jones and Hagen, then has a chance to win on the final hole, but has the integrity to call a penalty on himself when his ball moves after he tries to remove a loose impediment . </P> <P> Seeing Junuh has grown and matured, Bagger decides his golfer doesn't need him any more . With the 18th hole left unfinished, Bagger gives the position of caddie to Greaves, and leaves Junuh as mysteriously as he came . </P> <P> Though losing a chance to win because of the penalty, Junuh sinks an improbable putt and the match ends in a gentlemanly three - way tie . The three golfers shake hands with all of Savannah cheering . Junuh and Adele get back together . </P> <P> The old Greaves wakes up and sees an unaged Bagger Vance beckoning him from a distance . Hardy follows, presumably to the afterlife . </P>
