The actual event ended on Sunday June 15,1980 and was held at the storied Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield New Jersey. Pertinent Information: Wikipedia: "The 1980 U.S. Open was the 80th U.S. Open, held June 12–15 at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, west of New York City. Jack Nicklaus set a new tournament scoring record to win his fourth U.S. Open title, two strokes ahead of runner-up Isao Aoki; in fact, as the tournament transpired these two golfers ended up playing all four rounds together. After a second round 71, Nicklaus owned a two-stroke lead over Isao Aoki. Aoki, however, carded a third consecutive round of 68 in the third to tie Nicklaus. In the final round on Sunday, Nicklaus birdied the 3rd after Aoki recorded a bogey on 2, taking a two-shot lead. Nicklaus, however, could not separate himself from his challenger. After he hit his approach to 3 feet on 10, Aoki made a long putt from the fringe for a birdie. On the 17th Nicklaus holed a 22-footer for birdie while Aoki made his own 5-footer for birdie. And at the 18th Nicklaus rolled in another birdie from 10-feet to win the championship. Nicklaus' winning total of 272 established a new U.S. Open standard, breaking the record 275 he set in 1967 on the same Lower Course. He also tied Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones, and Ben Hogan by winning his fourth U.S. Open title." Isao Aoki won more than 50 events on the Japan Golf Tour. In 1993, Aoki won the Hawaiian Open on the U.S.-based PGA Tour, the first Japanese and Asian golfer to win on the tour. He was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2004. At the 1980 U.S. Open, playing all four rounds with Jack Nicklaus, he clearly raised the level of his game as the second-place finisher, and his highest ever finish at a Major. I found this tournament to be among the more enjoyable (older majors) to watch online. The item ships to the lower 48 states only.
