Fuzzy Zoeller defeated Greg Norman in an 18-hole playoff to win his first U.S. Open title and second major championship.

His approach shot on the last sailed into the grandstand, but he managed to save par by holing a 45-foot (14 m) putt.

Zoeller, standing in the 18th fairway, waved a white towel as a playful sign of surrender, then proceeded to par the hole himself to force a playoff.
