This was my first proper recollection of watching the Masters on TV. As a somewhat naive teenager, I had heard of Jack Nicklaus but never fully knew of his achievements or fantastic history.
So what was so special about watching this blonde-haired hero ploughing through the field on a Sunday evening in the UK? Well, just one word - momentum!
It was Jack's momentum that fired up the watching Augusta galleries; it was momentum that led to him scoring eagle-birdie-birdie on the 15th, 16th and 17th during his final round of 65; and it was momentum that took Jack to his sixth Green Jacket (the first was won in 1963) and 18th professional Major title.
Pure genius!
