Jack Nicklaus Signed 1972 Pebble Beach Program
The 1972 U.S. Open was the 72nd U.S. Open, held at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach. Nicklaus, age 32, captured his third U.S. Open title, three strokes ahead of runner-up Bruce Crampton. This was the first of six major championships held to date at Pebble Beach: five U.S. Opens and the PGA Championship in 1977.
Scoring conditions during the final round were extremely difficult; the average was 78.8, the highest in post-war U.S. Open history. Nicklaus' 290 (+2) was the second-highest winning score during that span. It was Nicklaus' 11th career major championship as professional, tying the then-record of Walter Hagen. When combined with his two U.S. Amateur wins, it was his 13th major, equaling Bobby Jones for most all-time. Nicklaus won seven additional majors, the last at the Masters in 1986 at age 46.
