Arnold Palmer trailed leader ] by eight strokes after 36 holes, and by seven shots after 54 holes. Almost everyone believed he was out of contention beginning the final round. Palmer drove the green on the par-4 1st to set up a two-putt birdie, then chipped in for birdie at the second. After nearly making an eagle at 3 and tapping in for another birdie, he holed an 18-footer for birdie at 4 then made two more birdies at 6 and 7. He cooled off the rest of his round, finally carding a 65 for a 280 total. It was the lowest final round in U.S. Open history. Twenty-one-year-old amateur ] was also in contention during the final round, briefly holding the lead after making eagle at 5 and birdie at 9. Two three-putts on the back-nine, however, dropped him to a 282 total, two strokes behind Palmer. His second place finish was the best showing by an amateur since ] won the ]. ], aiming for a record fifth Open title, got to within three of the lead, but he found the water on his last two holes and finished in 9th, four back of Palmer. Souchak, meanwhile, struggled to a 75 and finished in 3rd. |
