- Just to add to his lengthy list of accomplishments, Jack Nicklaus became the first player in the modern era to win two Opens at St Andrews, and the fourth in all after Bob Martin, JH Taylor and James Braid.
His third Open title, and 15th major, came a year after his “Duel in the Sun” with Tom Watson at Turnberry and it was the defending Champion Golfer who led, alongside Peter Oosterhuis, with a round to play.
Following a switch in the wind, so that it was against going out and behind coming home for the final round, Watson surprisingly slipped out of contention with a 76 and Oosterhuis had a 73.
Instead, The Open seemed to be between Nicklaus and Simon Owen, both of whom had started one behind.

Very hard to hear Connery talking thru background noise, but this is still more fun to watch to me than today's players. No gimmicky clubs, just pure talent.
Absolutely every man was different smiling have fun trying to win . Still better than today
The audio mixing on the Connery intro us brutal 😂
The 1st hole at St. Andrews is the most underrated hole in golf.
This is awesome, thanks for posting! It’s too bad there are problems with the audio, the crowd noise is twice the volume of the announcers
I was there on the saturday 😁 what a day
A great era for golf, must have been a fine show
Yikes, you know you've screwed up the audio mixing when UA-cam can't even auto-generate subtitles for you. ^^'
Still a pleasure to see all of these. Jack Nicklaus is not a guy who likes to get outgunned two years in a row, that's for sure.
(Also I love his outfit on Day 4. Doesn't it just scream "I PLAY GOLF FOR A LIVING"? :P )
Did you guys get the same bloke who did the sound editing for Top Gear youtube videos?
Cool that Sean Connery was announcing!!! The OPEN is one tough tourney!! They need to rework the audio, quite low. Great watch though!
Thanks for sharing this with us
Ha. Young Faldo with the Moe Howard cut.
Amazing expression from Jack after Owen’s chip-in on 15! 36:58
Jack = GoAT. Columbus, Ohio, Gang rise up!
Love how they say Aoki has "That strange looking swing" when that is now the modern swing.
air has less resistance than earth, always tee it up
The editors made a real mess of intro by having such loud background music.
My man actually said, “My word, is this going to be something the Orientals steal away from us?”
😆 😆 😆 Imagine if that were said today. I’m not even old and I wish for older times.😊
Peter alyss spoke of tommy nakagima oriental magic in 86 😂😂😂😂
Great!
Amazing how golf has changed
The biggest difference is the players didn’t wear ball caps or sun glasses
@@chevy4x466 and they used balls that turned more, and they used drivers with tiny heads and steel shafts.
And not for the better...
Geez, what's up with the audio? Did you guys reverse the music/ambience and voice over tracks. Would be happy to try and fix this for you
In my mind Jack is the greatest links golfer ever. True he only won the Open 3 times. But he has the most second place finishes, the most top 3 finishes, the most top 4 finishes, the most top 5 finishes, the most top 6 finishes, most top 10 finishes, and on to adfinitimum.
If life was fair Jack would have won at least 5 or 6 claret jugs. But golf is rarely fair. And there was frequently one guy that had a hot streak like Tom Watson in 77 and Johnny Miller in 76 that kept him out of the winner's circle.
Also please note if Jack was the only top American that traveled the pond, as was the case with Sam Snead in 46 and Ben Hogan in 53 he would have won 7 or more claret jugs, because he finished second to top Americans 4 times.
And Peter Thompson and Locke were 2 guys that won more claret jugs solely because they did not have to play against the top Americans. As soon as the top Americans came over their winning days were over, with Thompson's 1965 win standing out like a sore thumb. And neither could win in America. Even though Ben Hogan went one for one at the Open. Proving he was better than both those guys.
He was mister Top 10
@@ExceptionalPleb For a 15 out of a 16 year period. Insane.
Can’t argue, however I will say that Peter Thompson and Tom Watson have to get honorable mentions, and of course, my personal hero, Seve. When he got a chance, he always came through. Suffice it to say, a golfer that wins the Open is just a stud. It’s the best tournament in the world and all of the shots in the bag are required to win!
@@hanajinks1044 Ben Hogan came over only once to play in the Open and won it in 1953. Do you think if Hogan and Snead and even just the top 10 US golfers played in the Open each year Thomson won it the result would have been the same? Highly unlikely. He may have won it a couple times, but no more.
The fact he couldn't win any of the 3 American majors while Hogan was 1 for 1 at the Open illustrates this.
@@hanajinks1044 I would have respected his 5 major championships more if all the best players were playing on both sides of the Atlantic and his total was say 3 Opens, a Master, and a US Open. Which shows more breadth.
Just like I would agree with Byron Nelson being an all-time top 10 player had he won the Open. But because he did not win the Open, I barely see him as a top 20 player.
But at least you could argue Nelson did not play much in the Open because of World War 2 and the low prize money. But Thompson does not have that excuse not being more competitive in an American major.
Remember both Hogan and Snead were one and done when they won the Open. (Although Snead played a few times very early, and much later in his career. But just imagine if even just Hogan and Snead crossed the Atlantic each year in the 50s. It would have likely been a Walter Hagan, Bobby Jones at the Open in the 1920s duo again.)
I would pay to know the name of the song at the end.
Funny how Isao Aoki wore an identical pullover on the 1st day 4:08 as did Jack Nicklaus on the final day 25:08…🤔
Nice lack of audio.....How irritating!!
Though in no way did Nicklaus implode at Turnberry, interestingly he only won 4 more majors though still, from memory, I think, managed to win one of each of the four. Watson in contrast won almost all of his after 77. Changing of the guard and / or a bit of a psychological blow for Jack, maybe.
No doubt it was a change of the guard - with Watson winning 5 to Nicklaus’ 4. Similarly, in Nicklaus’ peak years (ages 28 to 34), Trevino won as many times (5) as did Jack. It’s one of the reasons I rate Jack higher than Tiger, at every stage of his career he had (in Palmer then Trevino then Watson) a player who could claim to be Nicklaus’ equal. Except for Mickelson, Tiger never had any rival so good.
Yes you with thr odd Oriental putting style🤣🤣🤣
was that the theme for cheers ? one day ata time ??
The music was a bad idea,why have it
Spoiled watching this by the really bad audio & the constant adverts every 10 minutes or so not worth watching on UA-cam anymore ☹️
Powerful gas passing video
Err - Peter Oosterhuis hits a 1-iron into the 17th? In the modern game that's probably only a 6 or 7 iron!
I just watched this again. Its really interesting (to me) how the 18th green is cut. The Valley of Sin is very much part of the green. The modern course has the Valley of Sin much more part of the fairway and fringe.
Jack played far better at the Open than the US Open, and just as good as at the Masters. But "only" won it 3 times. If life was fair, he'd have won the Open 5 or 6 times.
At least for Jack only 1 of the 4 majors was not fair. As he finished 2'nd 7 times to his 3 wins. And has the most top 3s and 5s and 10s, etc. Without having the most wins.
But for Greg Norman 3 of the 4 majors were even more unfair.
And for Arnald Palmer 2 of the 4 majors were highly unfair, where he finished 2'nd at the U.S Open/PGA Chanpionship a combined 8 times but only won them once at the 1960 US Open.
@@hanajinks1044 Greg may have been more talented than all of em.
@@chevy4x466problem is Greg Norman had that CHOKE gene.
@@johnnyb4269 can’t be denied. However, also could have been different if he wasn’t snake bit on his first few majors.
A half decent final round and Watson would have won this easily but he shot 76
audio mixing is terrible, almost makes it unwatchable
Horrible audio
which bright spark had the idea for this silly soundtrack then ?
The kindly result immunologically mourn because argentina hemperly wait up a blue-eyed pamphlet. black-and-white, automatic language
Terrible sound typical BBC Crap music overpowers the commentary and then the background noise over powers commentary
Firstly, the video wasn't made by the BBC. It's got nothing to do with them.
Secondly, the sound on the original video is fine. It's just been poorly uploaded onto UA-cam by this channel.
All clear now?
Worst Sound Mix. Sad! It ruined the show.
Funny how loads of these players hit much longer clubs to 18th green and get closer than most modern players who can spank a driver 350 then play mediore 2nd shots
That's patently untrue Mark. Stop being a tiresome, rose-tinted nostalgist.
