Nicklaus was three-under for the round and led Weiskopf by a stroke at the 14th tee, but he bogeyed while Weiskopf birdied for a two-shot swing and a lead change. On the par-3 16th hole, Nicklaus listened on the green as both Weiskopf and Miller birdied on the 15th green, as he had done. Nicklaus then sank a 40 ft on birdie putt, while Weiskopf and Miller watched from the 16th tee. Weiskopf left his tee shot 80 ft short and bogeyed, while Miller made par and birdied 17. Both were a stroke behind with makeable birdie putts on the 72nd green to tie Nicklaus, who had just missed his 12 ft on birdie attempt. Miller missed left and low from 18 ft while Weiskopf's eight-footer (2.4 m) missed right.
