He shanked a little pitch shot into a water hazard, took a double bogey, and dropped back into a tie with Nicklaus-who sank a nine-foot putt for a birdie. When Al Geiberger birdied the par-four, 465-yd. 18th, the match wound up in a three-way tie. Littler, Nicklaus and Geiberger all headed back to the 14th hole for a sudden...

Taking her deep breaths like Mickey told her to, she rolled in a 20-ft. birdie putt on the fourth hole, canned a 25-ft. putt for another on the seventh, chipped in from 15 ft. for still another on the 14th, and drilled a perfect 3-iron to within 18 in. of the cup to set up a fourth birdie on the 16th.
