Impact: The Honda Classic's inaugural champion

*"My game never has been too bad. It's all just a state of mind.

That's all it is for any of us."**-- Tom Weiskopf*

In February 1972, Weiskopf claimed the fourth of his 16 career PGA Tour titles with a victory at the inaugural Jackie Gleason's Inverrary Classic (now Honda Classic), beating his long-time nemesis Jack Nicklaus by one stroke.
