1984 – Lee Trevino outlasts Gary Player and Lanny Wadkins at Shoal Creek

At 44 and seemingly out of the major championship picture, Trevino put a new putter in the bag to win by four shots over then 48-year-old Player and 1977 PGA champion Wadkins. The tournament was closer than it looked on paper thanks to a strong finish from Trevino, a two-time PGA Championship winner. He posted four rounds in the 60s, the first player to do so in the PGA. It was Trevino’s final victory until his senior tour years. Course architect Nicklaus finished T-25.
