The Masters tournament has provided some of golf's most
memorable finishes--none more so than the improbable triumph by
Jack Nicklaus in 1986. Twenty-five years later, many regard it as
the most exciting Masters ever.
Nicklaus, 46, was 160th on the PGA Tour money list. His last win
in a major championship had been six years earlier. Many of his
rivals on the tour thought he was well on his way to being washed
up.
But for Nicklaus, the Masters was an opportunity for redemption.
The somewhat tarnished Golden Bear, with his eldest son, Jackie, as
his caddy, hung on for the first three rounds. Then it was Sunday.
Ballesteros, Norman, Kite, Watson, and others were ahead of him.
During the afternoon, he charged."
One for the Ages "is the pulse-pounding story of the most
glorious moment in Jack Nicklaus's career. It is also a celebration
of the Masters, arguably the most prestigious tournament in golf,
and its world-class players, who clashed during a golden weekend in
Augusta until only one man, with his son at his side, was left
standing.
