Nicklaus Wins Open in Fractious Pebble Beach Winds
Jack Nicklaus captured his third U S Open title at Pebble Beach, finishing three strokes ahead of Bruce Crampton with a final round 74 in gusting 30 mph winds that wrecked greens and left many players struggling. Arnold Palmer ended third at 294, while defending champ Lee Trevino, five days out of hospital, shot 78 to tie Homero Blancas at 295. Nicklaus spoke of matching Bob Jones and eyed the British Open and PGA as the next targets.
