In 1978, the PGA Championship went to Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club for a third time, and John Mahaffey scored the greatest come-from-behind victory in PGA stroke-play history. Mahaffey's opening-round 75 put him in 47th place, eight strokes behind leader Tom Watson. Despite middle rounds of 67 and 68, Mahaffey still trailed Watson by seven strokes heading into the final round. However, Watson finished with a 73, while Mahaffey holed a series of putts for a 66 and soon after won with a 12-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole.
