Tom Watson is a relentless competitor and a good one at that as well. As dominant as Jack Nicklaus was, Tom went head to head with him on more than one occasion and came out on top.
Did you know that in the 1977 British Open, Jack Nicklaus shot 66-66 on the final two rounds but lost by one to Tom Watson who shot 66-65? How about Tom’s famous chip shot on the 17th of Pebble Beach to win the 1982 U.S. Open over Jack? In fact, out of the eight major championships that Tom won, Jack was the runner up on four of them.
