Tied for fifth place after a third round 68, he finished tied for ninth for his penultimate top ten in a major. His final top ten came at the 1967 Masters. Nichols' winning score of 271 was the lowest to date at the PGA Championship, the seventh as a 72-hole stroke play championship. It stood as the record for thirty years, until Nick Price's 269 in 1994. Nichols' win marked the third time that all of the professional major championships were won by Americans in a calendar year. 1964 was the last time that a cut was made after three rounds in the PGA championship - the previous third round cuts were 1958, 1959, 1960 & 1962.The Majors of Golf: Complete Results of the Open, the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship and the Masters, 1860-2008 1 Morgan G.
