Western Open winner backed into top prize at Butler National
At Oak Brook Illinois AP Butler National course played a key role as Al Geiberger sealed a 40,000 top prize by aiming for a bogey on the final hole. He finished with a 288 four under par, four strokes ahead of par. Bob Dickson led early but collapsed, finishing tied for third at 290 with Hale Irwin and Charles Coody. Joe Porter, another Monday qualifier from Scottsdale, earned 6,000. Geiberger recalled Arnold Palmer double bogeying a final hole years earlier but did not intend a similar finish.
