Lee Trevino(E)

Runner-up: Liang Huan Lu

Lee Trevino won the first of back-to-back Open Championships at Royal Birkdale. Trevino beat Taiwan's Liang Huan Lu, known as "Mr. Lu," by a stroke. Lu became enormously popular with the Birkdale crowd for his doffing of his cap. Trevino's Open wins were part of an extraordinary summer when he won three national opens.
