Fading after leading through 36 holes the previous year in her quest for a third straight U.S. Women's Open victory, two-time champion Mickey Wright, known for having one of the finest swings in the game's history, was solid down the stretch at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J. She fired a third-round 69, the only sub-70 score of the championship, on her way to a six-shot victory over defending champion Betsy Rawls.
