Conrad-- anyway you can get the finish of the tournament with Arnold playing the closing holes etc. ? Thanks

[@billwipperman9492]

I'd like to see that too!

Ahh Chris Schenkel. Very underrated commentator.

35,000.00 first prize is the equivalent of 234,000.00 in today's money.

Look at the class the old players had, Arnold in this case..... stopping , suppressing his own disappointment.... finding Miller in the crowd and giving him his sincere congrats.

So why do we get to play The Open?

OMG 😳 I love golf with a passion of which I pissed myself laughing 😂😂😂 regarding the resemblance to the first 15 seconds of this to the Penguin public golf club in Tasmania around 1989 😳😳😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Love Boros' look. 😏 But he sure could play. Palmer's last chance gone. Can't agree that Miller never hit the Nicklaus/Palmer level. In 74 and 75, he was Tiger good. By his own admission, he didn't want it badly enough to continue at that level of commitment. He didn't want to sacrifice his family to it, and I believe him. Still a top 25 all-time.

Palmer actually had a legitimate chance at Winged Foot the next year as a final round of 70, as shot by Forrest Fezler and Lou Graham, would have given him the title outright. And in 1975, although he finished 9th, he was only finished 3 shots behind the winner and a final round 70 (on an easier course than WF) would have put him in a playoff.

@@jonburrows8602 Suppose so. He like Watson lost his putting magic after 35, and that did him in. I started watching in 75, and to us boys, he was a washed up old man. I wish I'd seen him win a big one once.

I played with Miller...he lost his heart and his putting confidence

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

@@billmason2785 I knew he had putting woes. Funny, but when he was on, he played with almost supernatural confidence, which you can see here. Probably no ever better with the middle irons--he was uncanny.
