Along its narrow fairways, deep traps snare drives with the slightest hook. Around its undulating greens, bunkers catch approach shots with the smallest error. Golf Course Architect Robert Trent Jones fondly calls it "the greatest test of championship golf in the world." But to the 150 golfers who teed off in gusty winds last week to start the 61st U.S. Open, one of golf's most coveted prizes, Jones's 6,907-yd. Oakland Hills course in Birmingham, Mich., was simply "the Monster...
Still Palmer managed to keep up the pressure. After rain washed out half a day's play, the defending champion squared away for the final 18, and teed off into gusty winds to whittle away at Player's lead. He turned the front nine in 33 and gained back a stroke.

After beating Defending Champion JoAnne Gunderson in the semifinals. Anne teed off in the finals against Barbara Romack Porter of Sacramento, the 1954 champ. Anne was tired ("I couldn't sleep last night") but philosophical ("I'd give anything to win the tournament, but I don't intend to spend my life trying to win it"). At the start, her swing looked flat, and Mrs. Porter had a three-up lead at the 18-hole lunch break, still led two-up after 26 holes. But she three-putted the 27th and Anne got her short game going...
