The PGA Tour has a few tournaments that stand out from the rest of the tournaments throughout the year. Those tournaments are considered to be Major Tournaments. The most famous of the major tournaments in the United States is called the US Open. In the 1970s the US Open tournaments were especially good. One of the great tournaments in the 1970s was the 1975 US Open.

While there have been some US Open tournaments in which a couple of players were far better than the field, this was not the case in this tournament. There were several players that were in the running until the end of the tournament. There were actually 11 players within 3 strokes at the top of the leader board and the finish was an epic one.



A few of the players that were within just a few strokes of the top included legends like Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Hale Irwin. While these are some of the great players of all-time, none of these players were around for the end of the tournament.

The only two players left standing when the tournament was wrapping up were Lou Graham and John Mahaffey. These two players needed an 18-hole playoff in order to decide which player would take home the Major Tournament victory. Before the extra round came there were a series of dramatic events that brought the players to the extra holes.

Maffey hey a strong finish to the tournament, hitting some long putts and birdies to put up a 287 over the course of the tournament, including a 71 in the final round. While he finished strong, Graham had somewhat of a weak finish to the tournament. Graham actually could have won the tournament in regulation if he would have finished stronger. On the last hole of the tournament, Graham boogied and needed to go to the extra round to seal the victory.

Despite finishing regulation with a weak effort, Graham still managed to come out on top. He won the playoff by 2 strokes, posting a 71 in the final round. With Graham's victory he managed to bring home a 40 thousand dollar prize. The runner up, John Mahaffey, brought home a prize of 20 thousand dollars for his efforts.

While Graham's play in the playoff is what ultimately sealed the deal for his tournament victory, it was his play in the 3rd round that put him in position to win. In the 3rd round he came out on fire and separated himself from most of the field with a 68 in the round. Frank Beard shot a 67 in the same round and it looked like Graham and Beard would fight it out in the final round. Beard crumbled in the last round and ended up shooting a 78 to finish things off.



Graham's performance in the tournament sealed his spot in the Major tour quảng châu Tournament history as every player dreams of winning a Major Tournament at some point over the course of their career.
