1968 -- Another Jewel for Harper
PGA National Golf Club -- Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

Throughout his professional golf career, Chandler Harper, of Portsmouth, Va., was recognized for his occasional brilliant hot streaks. Harper won the 1954 Texas Open with three consecutive 63s, and needed only 20 putts to win the 1950 Tucson Open.

In the 29th Senior PGA Championship at PGA National Golf Club (now known as Ballenlsles Country Club), Harper again got hot. He fired a third-round 64, and withstood a final-round charge by three-time champion Sam Snead, who finished four strokes back. Harper's first-place prize of $4,000 was $500 more than he received by winning the PGA Championship 18 years earlier.
