Jack Nicklaus has unlimited feelings for the Firestone Country Club. He turned the club's Southern Stadium into his solo playground, where he won seven of the 73 professional PGA Tour titles, which is more memorable than the 1975 PGA title.

"I really want this," Nicklaus said. "Playing very close, you feel the weight of the shot every time."

Nicklaus is an Ohio native who won more than he won with the Augusta National, but his total wins were Tiger Woods, who won eight wins on the track and then moved on to host the PGA Tour Championship event, the Caurigue Company Championship. In 2018, Nicklaus joked that if he knew the Tiger would outperform his victory, he would work harder on the historic field.

Why did Nicklaus have such an impressive record at Firestone, viewed as one of the most intense tests in golf? He believes that the comfort level of the Ohio course, calling it a course that requires long driving and precise iron games, which favors his strengths and provides support.

"I like to play in front of my family, in front of my friends, and to get close to home," he said. "That's where I started."

Firestone was Nicklaus’ first familiarity with the professional tournament at the age of 18, making his debut on the PGA Tour at the 1958 Rubber City Open. That week, Nicklaus and his then-girlfriend, now long-time wife, Barbara, drove to Akron every day and returned to Columbus, Ohio, where they were students at Ohio State.

"We drive about an hour and 45 minutes a day," Nicklaus said. "I can't stay with her. Yes, that's unacceptable."

Almost unheard of, he played against professionals as a teenager, a harbinger of what was about to happen. Nicklaus ran out of the door in the 70th layout with a 67-66 round and ranked third behind the art wall and dominated U.S. Open champion Tommy Bolt, who taught Nicklaus the next day, when they paired them together.

"When we walked out of the first T-shirt, he put his arm next to me, 'Jack, don't worry, old Tommy will take care of you here." He gave me the old needle to get rid of the little kids. "I started missing a bunch of short putts, I shot 41 on the front nine, and Tommy never thought of putting his arm on my shoulder again.

Nicklaus, along with Julius Boros, another future member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, fired the closing ceremony No. 68 and won the 15th place. Nicklaus resumed his college and amateur career to boost confidence.

“My impression was that if I wanted to, I might be able to survive on that stage and if I made a decision like that, I might like it,” he recalls. “I learned that golf is really fun, I really like playing with those guys, and I want to get better in the game, so I can compete with them.”

By the 1975 PGA Championship, Nicklaus was 35 years old, winning the major in Buckeye State, winning the PGA Championship at the Canterbury Golf Club in 1973. In his seventeen years of debuting on the tour in Rubber City and later won 13 victories in the Grand Slam, Nicklaus licked the ball and played at Firestone, a 57 7,180-yard master.^Th The PGA Champion and Professional location is the third time in 15 years.

Robert Trent Jones Sr. renovated the famous layout before hosting the 1960 PGA championship, and Nicklaus completed the T-22 on the 1966 PGA. He has won the World Golf Championship four times and has won the American Golf Classic here. Nicklaus opened the rounds with 70 and 68, with Bruce Crampton trailing, who was forced to leave the Tour with a back injury six weeks ago this year, with four shots. Seventy-one players spent the weekend on the 8/148 weekend, chasing Crampton, who scored under 6 with 134. Australians in a narrow, tree-lined layout, the Australian's second round of 63 set a Firestone (South) course record and set the lowest round in championship history.

"It was an honor to lead the PGA Championship," Crampton said. "I just hope it was Sunday night and I had a three-point lead. That sums up."

But on Saturday, Crampton's game returned to Earth, Nicklaus took action. He got five shots in the first seven holes, including rolling in the 25-foot birdie on the seventh to take the lead, never giving up. But there was at least one stupid moment that almost threw the game over the head.

"I think the most shocking memory is that I've done well at the age of 16," Nicklaus said.

That's because he was known for his 625 yards (par-5) length and difficulty in the third round, his left turn and creek. During the PGA in 1960, Arnold Palmer had a catastrophic triple-taboo inscribed in the hole, winning the nickname of "monster", with the plaque located on the bridge near 16.^Th Green is in honor of Palmer's playful nickname. Will the monster sink the teeth into the teeth after Nicklaus falls near the water and destroys his pursuit of victory?

"That's a side dish," Nicklaus said. "All I can do is right-click it."

Unfortunately, his six iron frames flew too far, and his third shot was in more trouble, sitting behind the looming maple 135 yards away. Nicklaus faces a tough task for his fourth shot in the hole. He had to hang the ball from a troubled place on a 30-foot tree and then take the pond to the turtle-shelled green river. Nicklaus can hear ABC's former PGA champion Bob Rosberg whispering. "I heard him say, 'Well, he's dead here; he absolutely has no chance. I don't know what he's going to do." I kept moving forward and put it straight on the green treetops," Nicklaus recalled.

Chris Schenkel, ABC's lead commentator at the booth, was completely impressed, especially after Nicklaus poured a 30-foot putt for an impossible par. "Jack Nicklaus just proved what he was separated from other golfers," he said.

Nicklaus led by 67 while Crampton soared 75 to eight swings, giving Nicklaus a four-shot lead in the final round. Discovering that the Golden Bear's lead is usually not good for his competitors.

Starting with two bogeys and a birdie in his first three holes, Nicklaus skated with a string of pars and added a birdie to 11th. Nicklaus sank a 20-foot birdie in the 15-foot 15-foot birdie, while Crampton scored three putts in 15 times and disappeared in less than three feet. This extends the lead to four strokes and signs the deal for Nicklaus. The last double bogey just shrunk the final profit to two, and Crampton brought the bridesmaid to Nicklaus for the fourth time in the Major.

"We all suffer from human flaws; Jack Nicklaus suffers less," Crampton said. "If he needed something better, he wouldn't have taken six in the last hole."

Nicklaus asked Golf Digest Dan Jenkins If it is true, what did Crampton say.

"I won't," he said blinking.

Hall of Fame actors, including Tom Weiskopf, Billy Casper, Hale Irwin, Gene Littler and Tom Watson, all of which run with the title, but are almost the same, in the top ten.

Nicklaus signed the final 71 rounds, totaling 72 holes, 276 and 4 shots, improving his PGA title victory to four, less than Walter Hagen's record, which was his lead in 1980.^Th The main professional champion at that time. It ended a major season, he also won the Masters and lost three shots from both the American and British. If anyone needs to be reminded that Nicklaus takes classes by himself, he will give another notice.

“On the golf course, Jack reminds me of a storm,” his longtime caddie, Angelo Argea once wrote. “While the whole god around him is split and his ego is broken, he is very calm, peaceful with himself in his abilities and past achievements, and life will continue with him knowing that he is victorious or defeat.”

Steve and Jackie's sons join Barbara to join the Green Trophy for family photos. Nicklaus, in his acceptance speech, thanked officials, sponsors, principals, fans, and then Argea, who grew up 15 miles in Canton and learned Caddy in a nearby course. Argea ran on the green, waved to the audience, and grabbed the microphone from Nicklaus, who whispered to sit down.

"I don't have to tell you that I turned the color of over-ripe tomatoes into the color of highly dyed tomatoes," he recalled in his autobiography "Bear and Me."

It was Nicklaus's bowing moment, and 50 years later, he did not forget the time when a Golden Bear dealt with the monster and won the 1975 PGA Championship.
