Winner: Tom Watson
Runner up: Jack Nicklaus
Noteworthy: Nicklaus held the lead with Watson on the 15th hole during the final round but ended up two shots back. Watson’s chip in on the 17th hole is one of the more memorable shots in Pebble Beach and U.S. Open history. He then made a 20-footer for birdie on the 18th hole to put it away.
