When Nicklaus met Watson at the 18th they shook hands and Nicklaus said "You did it you son of a bitch, you beat me again"

Then his game suddenly deserted him. I had a great time watching him hit at the range once. He worked fast. Calvin Peete similarly impressive and forgotten, and like Larry Nelson, pretty much got to greatness on his own.

I noticed that Peter Aliss said in the open that Jack was going for his 20th major championship. It was said multiple times on the broadcast. What am I missing here? Can someone provide some insight for me on this?

@@brettmuller6024 FYI - Until around 1930-35 the 4 majors consisted of the US Open, US Amateur, British Open, British Amateur. Jones won all 4 of those majors in 1930, thereby credited with winning the Grand Slam (the original version).? Those were the days when the best players, like Jones, were amateurs.

20 majors, including 2 U.S. Amateurs, sounded great until Tiger won 3 U.S. Amateurs ... so folks promptly stopped adding those to the total since it would have inched Tiger closer to Jack's record. 😜

sadly though, the exact spot of Watson's chip in was washed out that winter or sometime later so it not the same condition anymore

Never realized Jack missed a couple of short putts down the stretch and Watson made three very long putts and the chip in… this is one Jack probably wins more often than not, but that’s golf. Sometimes the other person can’t miss.

Jack beat a lot of bums but he is still the greatest in my view. I say bums because they smoked they drank they played hungover they were out of shape. El Tigre changed all of that. Nowadays a tour player is a BAMF in fitness.

To be honest, the kind of shape that the gym gives you doesn't really add much to anyone's golf game. Conditioning from playing lots and lots of golf does, but mostly the skill you develop out there is what matters.

Yes, that was a great finish. I saw it in person. My Dad took me to this Open as my 18th B-day present. When Watson missed the 17th green it looked like Nicklaus was headed for a win. Watson turned a probable bogey into a birdie when chipped it in. That chip was not easy. If it didn’t go in, it would have ended up at least 15 feet past the hole.

I'd forgotten, really, how this all had played out. It's remembered, of course, for the chip, but it's also remembered as kind of one that Watson yanked away from Nicklaus. But in reality, it was Watson's to lose, and it would have been a bogey, bogey choke had he lost because Nicklaus didn't make any of the birdie putts he had on 16, 17, or 18.
