1983 U.S. Open Highlights

Larry Nelson played the final 36 holes in 132 strokes (10 under par), a record that still stands, to edge defending champion Tom Watson by a stroke at Oakmont Country Club. His performance included a 62-foot birdie putt on the 70th hole to help cement the victory.

Nelson started golf at age 21 !!
This proves that a person can do most anything if they put their mind to it. Very few things are impossible. Faith can move mountains

Can you image he was only playing golf for 14 yrs at this point!!!! Incredible

Nelson went back to Oakmont around Christmas of 1983. At the members urging, he tried to recreate the putt at 16; but despite several attempts, he never came close to repeating his Open putt.

'73 Apex irons, with a lot of lead tape would be my guess.
