U.S. Open
Runner-up: Bruce Crampton
Jack Nicklaus won at Pebble Beach with one of the most memorable shots in US Open history — a 1-iron on the par-3 17th hole that struck the flagstick and stopped inches from the hole. He won by three strokes over Bruce Crampton. It was Nicklaus's third US Open title.
