Gary Player, posting a 2-under 278, became the second foreign citizen to win the PGA Championship, beating hard-charging Bob Goalby by one stroke. Goalby brought the Championship to a thrilling climax by making birdies at 14 and 16 during the final round, but the 26-year old South African staved off the rally as both parred the final two holes.
