Notable Notes: Gary Player held off a late challenge from Bob Goalby to win the first of his two titles at the PGA Championship. It was Player's third major victory to this point in this career. Goalby finished one stroke behind player after birdies at 14 and 16 in the final round, but Player's closing 70 was good enough.
