Hello from Scotland Mr Watson ,i have been a huge admirer of your wonderful achievements and accomplishments in the game of golf since my teens and I'm in my early 60' s today . I was there at Turnberry in 1977 - my first ever Open attendance - at the majestic ' Duel in the Sun ' and have been a huge fan of yours ever since . I remember recognising Mr Nicklaus' daughter Nancy following her dad at the side of the fairway and could not get my courage up to say ' hello ' and ask if she was enjoying the country and the golf ....i still rue being so shy and retiring at the age of 16 . May i wish you and your family the very best of health and success Mr Watson , best wishes from the old country .
What a remarkable memory. I caddied in that tournament for a club pro Johnny Johnson . Sadly we didn't make the cut but Johnny gave me his players card as he left after the second round. (No photo ID back in 1977) so for the last two rounds I had access all areas😂. Those last two rounds played by Tom and Jack are etched in my memory like they happened yesterday. Tom's description of the roar when Jacks putt went in on the final hole is so accurate. I recall the whole arena seemed to levitate as the ball approached the hole. Quite the most remarkable moment. Fabulous to hear it from Tom Watson himself. What a gentleman and a credit to our game. P.S. I was also present when he won his first Open at Carnoustie in a 18 playoff against Jack Newton
One of the greatest travesties in golf…when he couldn’t get up and down at the last and lose in a play off to Cink….if you want to look at the best swing in golf….look no further than Tom Watson……
Broke my heart. At his age. And it wasn't a tough up and down, he'd make it 9 out of 10 times. But a very tough stress situation. He's not the GOAT, but he's definitely the great player I respect the most.
That brought a tear to my eye. Two absolute legends with great respect for each other.
The best jack story of all time. Classy guy.luv tom watson!

What a player Tom was ❤
Tremendous Interview Matt, what a great story!
What a great memory! I can't remember what I did during any particular round in 2023!

That Photo/Painting behind Tom’s head is the 5th in Turnberry
Jack was a total gentleman!
I've never seen anything like the last hole on that day. Couldn't have scripted it.
GreAt person and golfer !
Did you ask him about the change of day four partners at the Masters in 81 ?

Tom tells it “straight from the horses mouth”
Love ya' Tommy....let's go fishing or something....yup
Do we have something here PGA of AMERICA??
Watson seemed to always need a miracle chip in to beat Nicklaus.
"always need a miracle chip"? How about "he hit the right shot at the right time", just like the best of them.
@@bingohhhhhhhhhhhh Like when he lost by 8 strokes in a playoff at that same course?
@@timentry8676 Like when he was 59 yrs old and beat all those in the field (including TIger) after 72 holes.
