Moody Wins Unorthodox U S Open Championship
Orville Moody, a 35 year old Army veteran and Choctaw from Chickasaw Oklahoma, defies norms by winning the U S Open at Cypress Creek. He cards a final round 72 to finish 281, with a 30 000 prize and career earnings of 57 921 that year. Moody had never taken a golf lesson, never practices, uses a cross handed grip, and only learned his legal name recently after a birth certificate correction. He received a call from President Nixon praising the upset victory and Moody recalls his unlikely path from regional to national triumph.
