Crampton was born in Sydney, New South Wales, and attended Kogarah High School in 1948–1950. He turned professional in 1953. He won the Vardon Trophy for the player with the lowest stroke average on the PGA Tour in 1973 and 1975. He had 14 career wins on the PGA Tour between 1961 and 1975 and was runner up in four major championships – one Masters, one U.S. Open, and two PGA Championships – all to Jack Nicklaus. He was ranked among the top five golfers in the world in both 1972 and 1973, according to Mark McCormack's world golf rankings. His other regular career victories included the Australian Open, New Zealand PGA Championship, Far East Open and the Philippine Open. As a senior, he won 20 times on the Champions Tour, and topped the money list in 1986, but he did not win a senior major. Crampton was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2001.[1] Professional wins (44)PGA Tour wins (14)No. | Date | Tournament | Winning score | Margin of victory | Runner(s)-up | 1 | 23 Jul 1961 | Milwaukee Open Invitational | −8 (70-64-67-71=272) | 1 stroke | USA}} Gay Brewer, {{flagicon|USA}} Bob Goalby | 2 | 15 Jul 1962 | Motor City Open | −17 (66-65-70-66=267) | 3 strokes | USA}} Dave Hill, {{flagicon|USA}} Don Massengale | 3 | 26 Apr 1964 | Texas Open Invitational | −7 (71-69-68-65=273) | 1 stroke | NZL}} Bob Charles, {{flagicon|USA}} Chi-Chi Rodríguez | 4 | 24 Jan 1965 | Bing Crosby National Pro-Am | −3 (75-67-73-69=284) | 3 strokes | USA}} Tony Lema | 5 | 11 May 1965 | Colonial National Invitation | −4 (71-68-71-66=276) | 3 strokes | CAN}} George Knudson | 6 | 30 May 1965 | 500 Festival Open Invitation | −5 (71-70-67-71=279) | 1 stroke | USA}} Jacky Cupit, {{flagicon|USA}} Lionel Hebert | 7 | 9 Nov 1969 | Hawaiian Open | −14 (71-71-65-67=274) | 4 strokes | USA}} Jack Nicklaus | 8 | 2 Aug 1970 | Westchester Classic | −15 (67-71-68-67=273) | 1 stroke | USA}} Larry Hinson, {{flagicon|USA}} Jack Nicklaus | 9 | 18 Jul 1971 | Western Open | −5 (66-73-69-71=279) | 2 strokes | USA}} Bobby Nichols | 10 | 14 Jan 1973 | Phoenix Open | −12 (68-67-68-65=268) | 1 stroke | USA}} Steve Melnyk, {{flagicon|USA}} Lanny Wadkins | 11 | 21 Jan 1973 | Dean Martin Tucson Open | −11 (70-70-66-71=277) | 5 strokes | USA}} George Archer, {{flagicon|USA}} Gay Brewer {{flagicon|USA}} Labron Harris, Jr. | 12 | 6 May 1973 | Houston Open | −11 (72-66-67-72=277) | 1 stroke | USA}} Dave Stockton | 13 | 24 Jun 1973 | American Golf Classic | −7 (70-67-68-68=273) | 3 strokes | USA}} Gay Brewer, {{flagicon|USA}} Bob Murphy {{flagicon|USA}} Lanny Wadkins | 14 | 4 May 1975 | Houston Open | −15 (68-70-66-69=273) | 2 strokes | USA}} Gil Morgan | PGA Tour playoff record (0–2)No. | Year | Tournament | Opponent | Result | 1 | 1970 | Houston Champions International | USA}} Gibby Gilbert | Lost to par on third extra hole | 2 | 1974 | B.C.
