Already one of the game's biggest stars, Jack Nicklaus took another step toward golf immortality with his record-shattering win in the 1967 U.S. Open at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J.
The United States Golf Association (USGA) conducts many of golf's most prestigious championships, highlighted by the U.S. Open, the U.S. Women's Open and the world’s premier amateur championships. Based in Liberty Corner, N.J., the USGA governs the game in the U.S., its territories and Mexico.

I love the 3rd hole in these videos, the pond looked a lot more natural than it does now.

So cool to see individual style golf swings......more fluid and less mechanical

Yeah I agree way more individual and developed by feel.
Very cool footage
I think my favorite part is that section around the 4th hole on Day 3. All these Hall of Famers and USGA champions struggling on it and trying to keep their tournament from sinking, meanwhile it's the amateur Marty Fleckman, fresh off +3 through 3, who somehow makes a birdie to stabilize his round from collapsing.
As tough a loss it was the year before for Arnie, this one must have hurt as well. Palmer had Hogan's record well within reach going to the back nine at Olympic in 1966, only to see his game slip away. Then, he loses in the playoff. Just one year later, Nicklaus goes out and breaks the record with Arnie right there to witness it. The golfing gods didn't get it right with Palmer. After he gave so much to the game, they never repaid him with another major title after 1964.
The 7th hole was the key. Arnie must be thinking he will make birdie to tie Jack who didn't have a real chance at birdie. And then Jack drops a bomb and Arnie misses from close in. Instead of tied, Arnie now trails by 2. Tournament over
