The sun was down, and the greens had slowed when Coe chipped for the cup out of a grassed bunker. Normally, the ball would have rolled in, but in the dampening grass it stopped inches away. Nicklaus conferred briefly with 16-year-old Caddy Bob Valdes ("Best greens reader we've got," said Club Pro Ed Dudley). Then Nicklaus took his new putter and sank his eight-footer...
