He received a電話 call from President Nixon after sinking the decisive eight iron into the 18th green, wording the longest 14 inch putt in golf history. Moody, backed by friends from Killeen, rose to win the $30,000 first prize amid runners-up Bob Rosburg Deane Beman and Al Geiberger. Moody credited his crew and noted the Open’s big payoff, while acknowledging mid‑class supporters.
