Facing hometown hero Arnold Palmer, 22-year-old Jack Nicklaus out-dueled the fan favorite in an 18-hole playoff for his first professional win. It also began a lifelong rivalry for the two future legends of the game. Nicklaus would only three-putt once on Oakmont’s challenging greens to post the first of his four U.S. Open titles, becoming the youngest champion since Bob Jones in 1923.
