1990 US SENIORS OPEN Final Round 7/1/90 Ridgewood Country Club

Sunday dawned sunny, but a severe thunderstorm hit the area shortly after the leaders teed off in the afternoon. The shower, and the one-hour delay that resulted, cooled off his pursuers, but not Lee Trevino. After putting his approach on the lip of the cup at the tenth hole, he found himself with a three-shot lead. Only Nicklaus could muster a challenge, but Trevino matched him birdie for birdie down the stretch.
A bogey on the long par 5 seventeenth hole, the result of a misplayed pitch to the green caused by a problem with his eyes, thwarted Nicklaus’ bid. Ironically, he had mastered Ridgewood’s par 5s throughout the tournament, playing them in 9 under par. In the end, Trevino’s final 67 gave him a two-stroke margin at 275, 13 under par. His prize was $90,000; Nicklaus won $45,000.

Some rain on the course always helps Lee. His lower trajectory shots can stop on the green more easily.

Thank you for this! I think 1990 was like a golden age for the Senior Tour, especially this tournament.

At 10:05, the announcer Roger Twibell says that Nicklaus, Player and Trevino had over 25 majors on the regular tour - he should have dug a little deeper - I count 33.
