55th PGA Championship
Jack Nicklaus made the 56th PGA Championship a memorable one by making it his 14th major championship, erasing Bobby Jones’ record which had stood for 43 years. Nicklaus opened with a 72, which left him tied for 22nd, but a pair of 68s made him the third-round leader. A closing 69 gave Nicklaus a 277 and a four-shot victory over runner-up Bruce Crampton.
