Original Toronto Star caption: The winner, British professional Peter Oosterhuis holds a Inuit sculpture after winning Canadian Open championship yesterday at Glen Abbey in a thrilling finish which saw Jack Nicklaus charge from behind but failed to catch the Englishman when he missed an eagle putt on the 18th. It was Oosterhuis' first PGA tournament victory and it came as a big surprise.
