Golf: 1972 United States Open Championship

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Defending champion: Lee Trevino (USA)

Last weekend for the first time in three-quarters of a century the US Open played on the shores of America - at Pebble Beach, California. A legendary course on the rockbound Monterey Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean comes into play at eight holes.
A perfect setting for the mighty Jack Nicklaus as he set out on the second leg of his bid for the elusive 'Grand Slam' - it was here in 1961 that Nicklaus won his second US Amateur Championship, a victory which fostered his affection for an area once described by Robert Louis Stevenson as the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.
Highlights of the final round are described by Harry Carpenter and Peter Alliss.
