Guessing there is a copyright issue with the "Love's Theme" that ABC used as the theme during this time frame since it isn't present on any of these rebroadcasts.

John Mahaffey lost the lead for a 2nd time in next year's US Open, but he finally redeemed himself by winning a major at the 1978 PGA championship, by beating Tom Watson and Jerry Pate in a playoff.

Cool fact! ⛳️
I was at the 1975 Open. Lou Graham hit his TShot OB on the final 18th hole.. It did not just hit a spectator. That spectator KICKED the ball back in bounds, and then took -off. Graham should have had to re-tee hitting 3. He of course did not know this occurred. Mahaffey was gypped by a fan.

I’m Lou’s grandson is this true?
If Jack Nicklaus had just played the final 5 holes in even par like his playing companion Arnold Palmer did, he would have won the tournament outright by a shot.

As infamous as the "Massacre at Winged Foot" was the previous year, what happened on the weekend of this U.S. Open might have been even worse. The proof of that was that Lou Graham shot 1-under par for the weekend (and 2-over in the final round) and made up 11 shots in what remains the largest 36-hole comeback in U.S. Open history, as nobody seemed to want to win this one. The inexperienced leaders (Watson, Oosterhuis, Crenshaw) gave Jack Nicklaus and defending champion Hale Irwin, who would win the U.S. Open at the same venue 15 years later, a chance to win, and even they threw their chances away, Irwin with a ball in the water on 17 and Nicklaus by bogeying the final 3 holes. In fact, of the top 11 finishers, which included Arnold Palmer for his final U.S. Open top 10 finish, only Irwin and Bob Murphy broke par in the final round.

Golf writer Dan Jenkins called this “a championship that begged to be forgotten.” The field played terrible that week.

Jenkins has told the story of how Lou Graham's wife actually came over to him in the press tent after the playoff and said: "Be nice, Dan, he's really a good guy"!
I know Frank Beard had health problems, he did not look fit in this tournament. He was a helluva golfer.
