Married to an airline stewardess just one month, "Champagne Tony" shot a 10-under-par 270 to tie Aaron for the lead after 72 holes, won the tournament with a scrambling par 4 on the first extra hole, and lived up to his nickname by serving champagne in the pressroom afterward.

This was the 16th annual performance of the West Coast tribal rite-complete with fairway high jinks and off-course bottle belting-known as the Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur Golf Championship. Lema's leap was just the kind of accidental clowning that the crowd had come...
