Biggest victory came when he won the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont, shooting 63 in the final round, the lowest score ever by a winner at that prestigious event. Was the PGA TOUR's leading money-winner in 1974, the only player other than Jack Nicklaus or Tom Watson to win money title between 1971 and 1980. Was a member of the 1975 and 1981 U.S. Ryder Cup teams. Played on 1973, 1975 and 1980 U.S. World Cup teams. The 1974 PGA Player of Year. Winner 1964 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.
