For the first time in history, rain pushed the final round of a PGA Championship over to Monday. A record 115,450 spectators attended the four-day event. Needing a par on the treacherous 18th hole at Congressional to win his second PGA Championship and avert a playoff with Don January and Ray Floyd, Dave Stockton made his 10-foot putt for par. His rounds of 70-72-69-70-281 matched the highest winning total in this classic at the time.
