Holland became the only side to hold all three prestigious hockey titles. They won the Olympic gold in Atlanta in 1996 and the World Cup at home in Utrecht in June this year.

Australia finished third, outlasting South Korea on penalty stroke sudden death 9-8, while Spain finished fifth by Victor Pujol's golden goal to beat defending champions Germany 3-2.

Hosts Pakistan were subdued by a better Dutch side as the champions gave no quarter to their opponents.

Holland altered their ranks after their 5-3 defeat by Pakistan in the league stage last Wednesday and did not commit the same mistakes of giving Pakistani players enough space.

``I am delighted because it was my dream to complete grand slam of titles and this goes on to prove that Holland is the best side in recent times,'' a delighted Holland captain Ronald Janssensaid.

Pakistan, egged on by a near capacity 40,000 crowd, opened the match in an aggressive manner, forcing a penalty corner in the 11th minute on a move from the right.

Right-in Atif Bashir put the ball in the goal when he took a rebound from Sohail Abbas's push. Pakistan's goal came in the 12th minute. Holland forced four penalty corners in the next 15 minutes and on the second short corner Bram Lomans placed the ball in the right corner of Pakistan's goal.

Peit Geeris put the world champions into lead in the 25th minute, converting a fine pass from Remco van Wijk, who dodged three Pakistani defenders on a solo move.

Marten Eikelboom completed the Dutch tally when he sneaked the ball in the goal from Remco van Wijk's pass with two minutes left.

Holland defeated Pakistan with the same margin to lift the 1990 World Cup at this very ground.

For the third place, Australia defeated South Korea in a nerve wrecking sudden death penalty stroke session.

In a highly thrilling match Australian goalkeeperLechlan Dreher stopped a penalty stroke in the sudden death session to help his team record a 9-8 win.

Even this was not without drama as the South Koreans began celebrating victory thinking the fifth penalty goal by the Australians had missed the target.

But on appeal by the Australians, both umpires consulted tournament officials and awarded the fifth penalty stroke. James Elmer's push seemed to have struck the cross bar and gone out but replays showed it went in the goal and came out. The dejected South Koreans then had to march back to complete the penalty stroke session.
