Trevino, age 44, was tied for the lead after two rounds at 137 (−7) with Player and Wadkins.[3] Despite a double bogey at 18 on Saturday, Trevino carded a 67 (−5) for 204 (−12) and a one shot lead.[4] A 69 on Sunday led to a total of 273 (−15), which set a new record for under-par by five strokes for the championship,[5] which was later broken by Steve Elkington in 1995.

Shoal Creek hosted the PGA Championship again in 1990 and the Regions Tradition, a senior major championship, from 2011 through 2015.
