Champion

Hale Irwin(+7)

Runner-up: Forrest Fezler

Known as the "Massacre at Winged Foot," Hale Irwin won with a score of +7, the highest winning score since the 1930s. The USGA set up the course so brutally that only Irwin's steadiness prevailed. Irwin played the most consistent golf of the week and won by two strokes.
