THE MASTER’S GREATEST HITS

- A WIN, a loss and a draw that sum up the brilliance of Jack Nicklaus...

1 18th MAJOR WIN AT THE 1986 MASTERS

THEY said he was washed up at 46, that he couldn’t hack it against the likes of Seve and Greg Norman. Then he shot 30 for the back nine on Sunday for the most glorious last hurrah.

2 DEFEAT BY TOM WATSON AT THE 1977 OPEN

A 36-hole Duel in the Sun at Turnberry that was simply epic. The two men finished up on the 18th hole bathed in smiles, their arms wrapped around one another.

3 THE CONCESSION AT THE 1969 RYDER CUP

The trophy rested on a 3ft putt, but Jack conceded it to Tony Jacklin because he thought a tied match was the right outcome. Arguably the greatest sporting gesture of all time.
