But either way that was a remarkable tournament and scene. It will be fun to watch him next year in the majors.

Nicklaus had to play against Palmer, Player, and later Watson, that is hardly weak competition. Arguably better than the top competitors Tiger faced.

You youngsters have no love for Jones and Sarazen?

Old Tom Morris was before my time, but had Ouimet.
