Nicklaus and Palmer attract attention as the Open draws near, with Brewer insisting he is playing well and aiming for a 72 hole total of 280 to claim the $25,000 first prize. Field trimmed to 165 as several withdrawals alter the lineup. Palmer appears in good spirits despite past US Open drama and notes his putting needs work.
