Jack Nicklaus goes into Sunday's windy final with a one-shot lead over Lee Trevino, a two-shot edge on Bruce Crampton and Kermit Zarley, and a three-shot advantage over Arnold Palmer. After nine holes, Nicklaus has increased his lead to four and Trevino drops out of the chase, but by hole 12, Palmer closes to within one.
Then on the par-three 17, Nicklaus makes one of the most famous shots in golf history. Ahead by three, he readies himself to hit a one-iron. But the wind forces his clubface further closed than he intended, and he has to make a split-second adjustment on impact. The result: a shot that defies the wind, hits the flagstick, and rolls to a stop five inches from the cup. His birdie seals a three-stroke victory over a late-charging Crampton.
Seventeen is the turning point again, Nicklaus is involved again, and the result is historic again. This time, however, Nicklaus is on the other end of the equation. Tom Watson begins the day tied for the lead; Nicklaus is three shots back. On the strength of a run of five straight birdies, however, Nicklaus soon overtakes Watson, who himself charges back for the lead. As Nicklaus heads into the clubhouse, the two men find themselves in a tie.
But then Watson comes to that famous 17th hole. His two-iron drifts into the rough left of the green, 16 feet from the cup. The best he can reasonably hope for is a bogey for a one-shot Nicklaus lead. And then, it happens: Watson chooses a sand wedge, pitches the errant ball into the air, then watches as it dropped onto the green and shoots straight into the hole. A birdie two for a one-shot lead! His birdie on 18 seals the victory, adding yet another chapter to 17's role in great U.S. Open finishes.
It is ten years later and ten holes earlier, but no less dramatic a finish for 1992. As Colin Montgomerie sits in the clubhouse being congratulated by Jack Nicklaus on his first U.S. Open win, Tom Kite is in the rough off of the 7th green, fighting to stand straight in the 40-mile-per-hour seaside wind. Montgomerie had gone into the clubhouse as the leader, but now Kite is currently three strokes up, and firmly mired in the same tall grass that has just caused Nick Faldo to take a five on the hole.
Kite selects his 60-degree wedge and pitches his ball out of the grass, and – in a moment oddly reminiscent of Tom Watson's 1982 chipshot on 17 – drops right into the hole! Kite plays a solid finishing round, holding off Jeff Sluman for a two-stroke victory and his first "Major" title.
The U.S. Open holds its 100th playing at Pebble Beach Golf Links in June of 2000, showcasing what will become a symbolic passing of the torch from golfing great Jack Nicklaus to heir-apparent Tiger Woods. Woods’ performance is nothing short of unbelievable. His first-round score of 65 is the best 18-hole total in any of the four U.S. Opens held at Pebble Beach. On Friday, he shoots a 69, giving him a six-stroke lead on the field. Despite a triple bogey on Saturday's third hole, Woods rebounds to a par 71 and extends his lead to nine strokes.
Finally, on Sunday, in front of the largest U.S. Open television audience in two decades, he turns a dominant victory into a historic feat. Tiger combines a bogey-free round with birdies on holes 10, 12, 13 and 14. His 67 gives him a four-day total of 272, tying the record for the lowest 72-hole score ever in the national championship, and besting his nearest competitor by 15 strokes.
In preparation for the 2010 U.S. Open Championship, Pebble Beach has unveiled a number of course enhancements, all under the advisement of Arnold Palmer. Pebble Beach Golf Links has continuously strengthened the course facets to enhance player appreciation, heighten the challenge and exceed guest and championship expectations.
“In the work we did to enhance the holes in preparation for the 2010 U.S. Open, the team reviewed countless historical photographs and documents to make sure we maintained the integrity, drama and grit of the original design. Our goal has been to strengthen Pebble Beach, a national treasure to the game of golf, for today’s player, while maintaining its timeliness.” – Arnold Palmer
