Bernhard Langer won his first major championship, two strokes ahead of runners-up Seve Ballesteros, Raymond Floyd, and Curtis Strange. Langer came back from a four-shot deficit at the start of the final round to birdie 4 of the last 7 holes to win the tournament. Despite an opening round 80, Strange enjoyed a 3-stroke lead with 6 holes to play in the final round but he bogeyed the 13th, 15th, and 18th holes.[2][3]
