Jacklin led wire-to-wire and was hardly threatened throughout the championship. The first round was played in extremely challenging conditions with winds blustering up to 41 miles an hour and resulted in generally high scoring with only 7 players in the field breaking 75. Arnold Palmer shot 79, Gary Player 80, and Jack Nicklaus 81. In contrast Jacklin thrived in the conditions and returned a 71 saying the wind blew harder in England and "the more it blows, the better I like it."Young Lochinvar Came Out Of The East The U.S. Professional Golfer Magazine August 1970 9–10 Jacklin took a four-shot lead over Dave Hill into the final round,https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=fKpVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=M-EDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6488%2C4868006 Eugene Register-Guard Oregon Associated Press Hill ignores hecklers to remain on Jacklin's heels June 21, 1970 1B http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1970/06/21/page/47/article/jacklin-ups-lead-in-u-s-open-to-4-cards-70-for-211 Chicago Tribune Husar John Jacklin ups lead in U.S. Open to 4; cards 70 for 211 June 21, 1970 1, sec. 2 and despite bogeys at the 7th and 8th, made a long birdie putt at 9 to quell any talk of a collapse.

Runner-up Hill, when asked what the course lacked, said: "Eighty acres of corn and a few cows. They ruined a good farm when they built this course."https://www.si.com/vault/1970/08/10/610907/plain-words-at-westchester Plain Words at Westchester Sports Illustrated Mulvoy Mark Mark Mulvoy August 10, 1970 12 Jacklin was more philosophical about the course. "We have to accept things as they are" he said. "After all, they aren't going to change the course just for me. No golf course will suit everybody perfectly." The course underwent significant renovations; when the U.S. Open returned twenty-one years later in 1991 it drew generally positive reviews, even from Hill. Hazeltine later hosted the PGA Championship twice (2002, 2009) and the Ryder Cup in 2016. Jacklin's win was the first in the U.S. Open by a European in over forty years and the last for forty more, until Graeme McDowell won at Pebble Beach in 2010. The next win by an Englishman was three years later in 2013, Justin Rose at Merion. Future major winners Ben Crenshaw (age 18) and John Mahaffey (age 22) tied for low amateur honors at 301 (+13), tied for 36th place. Just out of high school, Crenshaw was tied for eighth after each of the first two rounds.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=e6pVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=M-EDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6755%2C4732728 Eugene Register-Guard Oregon Associated Press Jacklin widens lead, scathing Hill second June 20, 1970 2B Course layout Hole123456789Out101112131415161718InTotalYards4564245851963944085631854003,6114145904261723555922143444333,5407,151Par445344534364543453443672 Round summaries First round Thursday, June 18, 1970 PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 ENG Tony Jacklin 71 −1T2 USA Julius Boros 73 +1 USA Chi-Chi Rodríguez USA Mason RudolphT5 USA Dick Crawford 74 +2 USA Tony Evans USA Bobby MitchellT8 CAN Al Balding 75 +3 USA Miller Barber USA Frank Beard USA Don Bies USA Gay Brewer USA Ben Crenshaw (a) AUS Bruce Devlin USA Al Geiberger USA Dave Hill USA Howie Johnson USA Bobby Nichols USA Larry Ziegler Source:http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1970/06/19/page/57/article/jacklins-71-leads-open-by-2-shots Chicago Tribune Husar John Jacklin's 71 leads Open by 2 shots June 19, 1970 1, sec. 3https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=eqpVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=M-EDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5318%2C4596276 Eugene Register-Guard Oregon Associated Press Jacklin breaks par to take Open edge June 19, 1970 2B (a) denotes amateur Second round Friday, June 19, 1970 PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 ENG Tony Jacklin 71-70=141 −3 2 USA Dave Hill 75-69=144 E T3 USA Dick Crawford 74-71=145 +1 USA Randy Wolff 78-67=1455 USA Gay Brewer 75-71=146 +2 T6 NZL Bob Charles 76-71=147 +3 USA Howie Johnson 75-72=147T8 USA Frank Beard 75-73=148 +4 USA Julius Boros 73-75=148 USA Ben Crenshaw (a) 75-73=148 USA Bunky Henry 80-68=148 USA Bobby Nichols 75-73=148 USA Mason Rudolph 73-75=148 USA Larry Ziegler 75-73=148 Source:https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZVRWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=i-0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6383%2C1519831 Spokesman-Review Spokane, Washington Associated Press U.S. Open scoring (second round) June 20, 1970 12http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1970/06/20/page/119/ Chicago Tribune Husar John Jacklin still in Open lead June 20, 1970 1, sec. 2 (a) denotes amateur Third round Saturday, June 20, 1970 PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 ENG Tony Jacklin 71-70-70=211 −5 2 USA Dave Hill 75-69-71=215 −1 3 USA Gay Brewer 75-71-71=217 +1 4 USA Julius Boros 73-75-70=218 +2 5 USA Bob Lunn 77-72-70=219 +3 T6 USA Gene Littler 77-72-71=220 +4 USA Ken Still 78-71-71=220T8 USA Billy Casper 75-75-71=221 +5 USA Dick Crawford 74-71-76=221 AUS Bruce Devlin 75-75-71=221 USA Raymond Floyd 78-73-70=221 USA Mason Rudolph 73-75-73=221 USA Randy Wolff 78-67-76=221 USA Larry Ziegler 75-73-73=221 Source: Final round Sunday, June 21, 1970 PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney ($)1 ENG Tony Jacklin 71-70-70-70=281 −7 30,0002 USA Dave Hill 75-69-71-73=288 E 15,000T3 NZL Bob Charles 76-71-75-67=289 +1 9,000 USA Bob Lunn 77-72-70-70=2895 USA Ken Still 78-71-71-71=291 +3 7,0006 USA Miller Barber 75-75-72-70=292 +4 6,0007 USA Gay Brewer 75-71-71-76=293 +5 5,000T8 USA Billy Casper 75-75-71-73=294 +6 3,325 AUS Bruce Devlin 75-75-71-73=294 USA Lee Trevino 77-73-74-70=294 USA Larry Ziegler 75-73-73-73=294 Source:http://www.databasegolf.com/tourneys/tournament_byyear.htm?yr=1970&tid=33 databasegolf.com 1970 Results for U.S. Open July 4, 2013 References External links USOpen.com - 1970 Hazeltine National Golf Club 1970 44.834 -93.591 type:event title Category:U.S. Open (golf) Category:Golf tournaments in Minnesota U.S. Open U.S. Open (golf) U.S. Open (golf)
