Trevino wins U S Open in record-tying 275 at Oak Hill
Lee Trevino, a 28-year-old Texan with a modest background, captured the U S Open at Oak Hill Country Club with a 275 total, four strokes ahead of Bert Yancey. Yancey finished tied for second at 279 after a late surge and a bogey-filled final round. Trevino matched Jack Nicklaus' Open scoring record and became the first to post four sub-par rounds in the event.
