The 1986 Masters<\/p>\n

One of the most pivotal moments of the tournament\u2014Jack Nicklaus\u2019 eagle putt on the 15th green\u2014was not shown live.<\/p>\n

The old Quonset hut that used to house the media at the Masters could no longer handle the throng of reporters looking to interview the top players following every round, so Augusta National had added a small interview room at the back of the premises, the room now bustling with energy and tension as Jack Nicklaus had taken his seat at the dais along with moderator Billy Morris, a club member and Nicklaus\u2019 friend. <\/p>\n

Wearing the green jacket he had just earned for a sixth time, the yellow collar of his shirt piercing through and a glint of perspiration on his forehead, Nicklaus was about to regale the assembled scribblers with details of this historic day when, at age 46, he had defied time and conventional wisdom to beat back the greats of the game and win his 18th major golf title. <\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

Forty years ago this year, Jack Nicklaus stunned the sports world by winning a sixth green jacket. | John Iacono\/Sports Illustrated<\/p>\n

The session got started before Tom McCollister arrived, Nicklaus having already playfully asked about the whereabouts of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writer. <\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, Tom,\u201d Nicklaus called out to laughter as McCollister entered the room.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything I can do to help,\u201d McCollister quipped, before adding: \u201c[Tom] Watson wants me to write about him next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCollister had unwittingly lit the fire that week for the Golden Bear, who had no problem drawing the needle in his moment of glory. The previous weekend, in a full-page Masters advance feature breaking down the field into various groups, including past champions, Nicklaus was covered along with the likes of Tom Watson, Ben Crenshaw, Craig Stadler, and Raymond Floyd. <\/p>\n

A well-regarded reporter who was known for his fairness, McCollister questioned the chances of all of those former winners. <\/p>\n

Of the five-time champion Nicklaus, who entered the tournament with not much to show for his season and two years past his last victory, McCollister wrote in the April 6 edition of the newspaper: \u201cNicklaus is gone, done. He just doesn\u2019t have the game anymore. It\u2019s rusted from lack of use. He\u2019s 46, and nobody that old wins the Masters.\u201d <\/p>\n

Having done my share of those types of features over the years, they can often be a combination of flippancy and snark with a good bit of statistical truth baked in as well. And that was the reality: Nicklaus was 160th on the PGA Tour money list. He hadn\u2019t posted a top-10 finish in seven months. In his seven previous tournaments that year, he had missed three cuts and withdrawn from a fourth. <\/p>\n

How was Jack going to win the Masters? McCollister\u2019s analysis was valid, if not ultimately correct. <\/p>\n

\u201cTom was a great guy and meant nothing bad by it,\u201d says Glenn Sheeley, a former Atlanta Journal-Constitution writer and McCollister colleague. \u201cIt was really sort of a throwaway line.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"Bernhard<\/p>\n

Nicklaus, being congratulated by 1985 champion Bernhard Langer, had plenty of doubters heading to the week before ultimately finishing it in another green jacket. | John Iacono\/Sports Illustrated<\/p>\n

But it caught Jack\u2019s attention. Or the attention of Nicklaus family friend John Montgomery, who saw the story and clipped it out of the newspaper, taped it to the refrigerator door in the Nicklaus rental home, and knew it would provide a spark of motivation.<\/p>\n

McCollister, who died in 1999, inadvertently became part of one of golf \u2019s greatest stories.<\/p>\n

And yet, Nicklaus, who playfully jabbed the writer in the aftermath, admitted the obvious. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen John put that article on the refrigerator when I had to look at it, I had to sizzle for a while,\u201d Nicklaus said that night. \u201cTo tell you the truth, I kind of agreed with Tom, I\u2019m afraid, but it helped get me going.\u201d<\/p>\n

54 holes into the tournament, Nicklaus was still under the radar<\/p>\n

The story is well known 40 years later. Jack Nicklaus was 46 years old and viewed as an afterthought, barely on anyone\u2019s radar, incredible when you think about it. Going into the final round of the 1986 Masters, he was just four shots back. If Tiger Woods trailed the leader by four going into the final round of any tournament, you can bet there\u2019d be plenty of conjecture about his ability to rally and win. But hardly anyone was talking about Jack that day. <\/p>\n

Part of that had to do with his being surrounded by superstars. Nick Price shot a course-record 63 on Saturday. Greg Norman (who would match that course record 10 years later) joined Price in the final group. Seve Ballesteros, who won the Masters in 1980 and 1983, was also in contention. So were Tom Kite, Tom Watson and defending champion Bernhard Langer\u2014all ahead of Nicklaus on the leaderboard. Sandy Lyle, the 1985 British Open winner, was paired with Nicklaus. <\/p>\n

\u201cI had never played with him before in any kind of tournament,\u201d says Lyle, who would win the Masters in 1988. \u201cYou are witnessing an incredible moment in history. The crowd was unlike anything I\u2019ve experienced. When you\u2019re in that kind of sunken bowl, tall trees and lots of people, and at the top of their voices\u2009…\u2009it can almost blow you over with the vibrations coming in. You\u2019ve got to be in that situation to feel it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Nicklaus\u2019s scores of 74-71-69 saw him tied for ninth at two under par, four strokes behind Norman. He and Lyle were in the fifth-to-last grouping. <\/p>\n

Four strokes is hardly an insurmountable deficit, especially at Augusta National, but Nicklaus was curiously not in much of the conversation on the CBS broadcast. Today, the TV networks are often criticized for showing too much of the headliners, especially Woods, even when deemed to have no chance of winning. With Nicklaus, CBS went the other way. The network didn\u2019t show or mention him until 39 minutes into its final-round telecast. Standing on the 9th tee, he trailed by six shots. As Atlanta Journal-Constitution writer Tom McCollister had written earlier in the week, \u201cHe\u2019s 46, and nobody that old wins the Masters.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time, that was true. Only two players that old had won majors: Julius Boros was 48 when he won the 1968 PGA Championship, and Tom Morris Sr. was also 46 when he captured the 1867 British Open in a field of just 14 players at Prestwick Golf Club. Nicklaus hardly seemed like a threat to join them: He was 160th on the PGA Tour money list and hadn\u2019t posted a top-10 finish in seven months.<\/p>\n

\"Greg<\/p>\n

So it was that CBS didn\u2019t show Nicklaus\u2019s birdie putt at the 9th hole live; nor did it have what had occurred moments before at all, hole-out eagles on the par-5 8th by both Kite and Ballesteros. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Nicklaus] was not even a factor in the golf tournament throughout a large part of that round,\u201d Kite says. \u201cThen starting on No. 9, he lit it up. It changed the whole thing. But quite honestly it was between Seve and Greg Norman and myself. That was basically who you thought was going to win the golf tournament. Probably not one person thought anything differently.\u201d <\/p>\n

Nicklaus hit driver and 4-iron to set up a 25-foot birdie putt at the 10th (also not shown live), which he made to go four under par and trail Ballesteros by four. Now CBS took notice of Nicklaus. He hit driver and 8-iron to 20 feet at the 11th and made that, too. With three birdies in a row and then a Ballesteros bogey at No. 9, Nicklaus had pulled to within two strokes.<\/p>\n

Gary Koch, who later became an analyst for ESPN and NBC, played in the group in front of Nicklaus along with Bob Tway.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou knew something was going on obviously by the noise being made in the gallery,\u201d Koch says. \u201cWe started to look back before we played our shots, it had gotten that loud. If you were in the middle of a stroke and he hit something, it would have been disturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n

A bogey at the par-3 12th seemingly derailed Nicklaus. He pulled a 7-iron to the back left fringe, chipped to six feet, then missed his par putt as his ball nicked a spike mark. Nicklaus angrily tapped it down afterward. And that anger manifested itself in the way he played the final six holes. Annoyed, he decided to play more aggressively, but nearly paid the price with a pulled drive at the par-5 13th.<\/p>\n

Nicklaus makes his move<\/p>\n

From the left side of the fairway, Nicklaus hit a 3-iron to the green and two-putted for a birdie to get back to five under par, two strokes behind Ballesteros, one behind Kite, and tied with Jay Haas, Payne Stewart and Norman, who had double-bogeyed the 10th hole. Still, to CBS\u2019s Ken Venturi, it was too little, too late, calling it a \u201cvaliant try today,\u201d as Nicklaus approached the green. <\/p>\n

The 14th appeared routine in context, if that was even possible. Nicklaus hit a 6-iron to the back fringe and then chipped up close for his par. Behind him, Ballesteros made his second eagle of the day, hitting a 6-iron to the 13th. Kite was just two back after a birdie. As he teed off at the par-5 15th, Nicklaus was now four strokes behind, tied with Norman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment was so gigantic,\u201d says Jim Nantz, who was working his first Masters. \u201cI\u2019ve tried to explain this to people through the years. And part of this of course is a young impressionable 26-year-old announcer working the Masters for the very first time\u2009…\u2009mortified by the idea of making a mistake. And being late in the game in the 16th tower. We had announcers from 10 on in. How are you going to tell the story? What are you going to say that hasn\u2019t already been said? What\u2019s going to happen here?\u201d <\/p>\n

A solid drive at the par-5 15th left Nicklaus with 204 yards to the flagstick. \u201cHow far do you think a 3 [eagle] would go here?\u201d he asked his son and caddie, Jackie, before settling on a 4-iron that he lasered to 12 feet. As Nicklaus looked over the eagle putt, CBS went to Tom Weiskopf, who was working as an analyst in Butler Cabin. The former British Open champion who followed Nicklaus to Ohio State and often was compared to him proved to be brilliant: \u201cNever needed an eagle more,\u201d Weiskopf said. \u201cHe\u2019s just too far behind. He really needs to make 3 here. That\u2019s a must for Jack Nicklaus, I feel.\u201d Nicklaus rolled in the putt, Jackie leaped into the air, and all hell was breaking loose. <\/p>\n

CBS\u2019s Ben Wright with the call: \u201cYes, sir! The battle is joined. My goodness. There is life in the old Bear yet.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe eagle at 15 really kind of set things in motion as far as having an outside chance,\u201d Lyle says. \u201cHe knew from experience\u2014been there, done that\u2014if you get in the clubhouse with the lead, people might come back to you.\u2009…\u2009The crowd, the noise, was coming from all angles. From above, the side, behind. It echoes around that area for ages. It was a sense that Jack had a chance. And I think it might have put Seve off as well.\u201d <\/p>\n

Now just two shots back, Nicklaus headed to the par-3 16th, where Nantz, despite being a rookie Masters announcer, set the stage perfectly. He noted how Nicklaus had made a big birdie putt at the hole on his way to winning his first green jacket in 1963. And that he had holed a long putt at the 1975 Masters on his way to a fifth.<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anyone has owned this hole, it would be Jack Nicklaus,\u201d Nantz said. When Nicklaus backed off for a moment, it allowed Nantz to ask Weiskopf what must be going through Nicklaus\u2019s mind. \u201cIf I knew the answer to that question, I\u2019d have won this tournament!\u201d Weiskopf said to nervous laughter. Then he delivered the prescient setup: \u201cNo, he\u2019s just going to fire at the pin\u2009…\u2009your destiny is right here.\u201d And that is exactly what happened, as Nicklaus struck a 5-iron that soared through the air. \u201cBe the right club,\u201d Jackie implored. \u201cIt is,\u201d Jack said, not even following the flight of the ball. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment was so large,\u201d Nantz says. \u201cThere was so much energy. The place was abuzz. We use that term electric, but it really, really was. The air was thick with electricity\u2009…\u2009it came spinning off the hill and for a moment there, I thought it was going in.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the day that raised the hair on your neck when you watched it,\u201d says two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw, who had finished his round and was awaiting the outcome. \u201cIt was amazing\u2009…\u2009when he hit that tee shot on 16 right up next to the hole, that might have been the loudest roar ever at Augusta.\u201d <\/p>\n

The ball came to rest three feet below the hole. Lyle still had to hit his tee shot and knocked on the green about 15 feet below the pin. They made the trek to the green and CBS kept the camera on Nicklaus for the entire walk as he waved to the crowd. Nantz said nothing and all you could hear was wild cheering. Incredibly amid all of that, Lyle rolled in his birdie putt. Then Nicklaus did, too. He had moved to eight under par for the tournament and was just one back. Said Nantz as Nicklaus walked off the green: \u201cThe Bear has come out of hibernation.\u201d <\/p>\n

Kite, waiting in the 15th fairway with a view up ahead, smiled in disbelief as the noise reverberated around him. Both he and Ballesteros were preparing to play their second shots to the green. Kite knocked his to 20 feet, but Ballesteros, from 198 yards with a 4-iron, was between clubs. A combination cheer\/groan soon followed. \u201cI knew exactly what had happened,\u201d Nicklaus says. The ball was in the water. <\/p>\n

With Kite making a birdie, there was now a three-way tie for the lead. Nicklaus played his drive at the 17th hole\u2014which he pulled well to the left, into the 7th fairway\u2014then hit a tricky pitching wedge second shot to the par-4 17th, leaving himself an 18-footer for birdie.<\/p>\n

An electric scene unfolds<\/p>\n

By now, Augusta National was on fire. \u201cI looked at one of the concession stands and there was nobody there,\u201d says Rick Reilly, the Sports Illustrated writer covering his first Masters. \u201cThey just left. I\u2019ve never heard anything so loud. For outdoors, that\u2019s about as loud as I can remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicklaus now had a tricky birdie putt to take the lead. The scene has been played out many times, with CBS\u2019s Verne Lundquist\u2019s call as iconic as the putt itself. The \u201cYes, sir!\u201d from Lundquist is among the enduring sights and sounds of that tournament, a moment frozen in time as Nicklaus held up his putter with his left arm, a knowing grin coming across his face, the ball diving into the cup. <\/p>\n

For the first time all tournament, Nicklaus led at Augusta National, the ground shaking in wonder and amazement with that birdie putt, an improbable victory unfolding before a mesmerized audience. And off to the side stood a tall, blond kid, all of 24 years old, his heart pounding through his white jumpsuit, awash in every imaginable emotion that he didn\u2019t dare let out. <\/p>\n

Jack Nicklaus II had an incredible front-row seat to history, a mind-boggling experience that he still recounts with unbridled pride. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I relish about it today was the time I was able to share with Dad when he won his sixth green jacket, his final major,\u201d Jack\u2019s oldest son says. \u201cPretty incredible. That\u2019s what I embrace, being with my dad, that time shared with him and what that still means to me today.\u201d <\/p>\n

The putt all these years later remains the stuff of wonder. <\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

\u201cHow is a 24-year-old kid\u2009…\u2009there\u2019s no way I know those greens as well or better than him,\u201d Jackie says. \u201cNot anywhere as close as my dad. We are sitting there on 17 with a putt to put him in the outright lead. I thought the putt went to the right, away from Rae\u2019s Creek. I thought it was probably an inch outside the hole. He said, \u2018You know this is where Rae\u2019s Creek comes in, it has an influence over the entire property. I don\u2019t think it will go to the right. I think it might go to the left.\u2019\u2009\u201d <\/p>\n

Lyle recalled the difficulty of the putt. \u201cThat was a very, very nasty putt,\u201d he says. \u201cYou could putt 30 balls from that spot and you\u2019d be lucky to make two of them. I was trying to read it, too, and it was incredible. It seemed to go both ways. Even he had a spot of bother trying to read it, but you wouldn\u2019t think it. It looked very easy on TV, but from a player\u2019s point of view, that was as good of a putt as you\u2019ll see.\u201d <\/p>\n

Lundquist noted that the putt was for the lead. Then there was silence as 10 seconds elapsed before Nicklaus stroked the ball. <\/p>\n

As it rolled, Lundquist said: \u201cMaybe\u2009…\u2009yes, sir!\u201d <\/p>\n

Price, playing with Norman and in the 15th fairway at the time, saw it all unfold. \u201cThe green is up a little bit so we can sort of see Jack\u2019s head and we saw the putter go up and we knew it was going in and the loudest roar I have ever heard on a golf course right there and then,\u201d Price says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we hit the turn, Jack is going through 12 and 13 and we\u2019re going through 10,\u201d Norman says. \u201cYou could hear roar after roar after roar. And it was like, Holy s—! There\u2019s only one roar and you know who that is for. Nick and I were still near the lead and all of a sudden all of our spectators started to disappear. We\u2019re walking up to the 14th green and there\u2019s maybe 50 people at the green. <\/p>\n

\u201cThen as we walked off the 15th tee, you could see the 17th green. Jack is putting down that hill. And I see him raise the putter. He\u2019s going to make that putt. Of course. Then I knew the game was really on. We had to eagle or birdie our way in. That is one moment etched in my mind, that vision, for the rest of my life.\u201d <\/p>\n

For the first time in 11 years since he won the 1975 Masters, Nicklaus had the lead to himself at Augusta. <\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year he went back, he went back to the same spot but has never been able to recreate that same putt and have it break the same way,\u201d Jack II said. \u201cThere are magical things that happen at Augusta. And I hold that in my head. The golf gods were smiling on him.\u201d<\/p>\n

A son\u2019s unlikely journey to Augusta<\/p>\n

Jack II got his dad bag\u2019s somewhat by accident 10 years earlier. Nicklaus was playing a practice round on the day before the start of the British Open at Royal Birkdale in 1976, and 14-year-old Jackie was tagging along. <\/p>\n

On the 9th hole, Nicklaus\u2019s caddie, Jimmy Dickinson, tried to navigate a hill and suffered an injury to his Achilles. Jack II was summoned. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo one else was around and I remember him saying, \u2018You mind carrying the bag on the back nine?\u2019\u2009\u201d Jack II says. \u201cI remember he hit a 4-iron into the 10th hole there. I threw the bag on my back and started walking down the fairway and heard, \u2018Did you get the divot?\u2019 Oh my gosh, I have to get the divot. It was a reality check. I got thrown into a pretty big scene right away. I just tried to do what I thought a caddie should do.\u201d <\/p>\n

As Nicklaus\u2019s career began to wind down, he began using his sons more frequently and Jack II was a good player, having attended North Carolina and winning the 1985 North-South Amateur at Pinehurst. <\/p>\n

And he had previous experience on his dad\u2019s bag, including a victory at the 1984 Memorial Tournament. But it was the 1982 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach that he remembered as having a big influence.<\/p>\n

Nicklaus lost that U.S. Open when Watson chipped in on the 71st hole for an improbable birdie, then added another birdie at the 18th. After a slow start that day, Nicklaus made five straight birdies through the 7th hole. \u201cI remember getting right in his face, arms up, \u2018Dad, this is great, way to go!\u2019\u2009\u201d Jack II says. Nicklaus then bogeyed the 8th hole. \u201cAnd I remember thinking, Did he bogey because I got him out of his zone? I kind of blamed myself. He could have won that tournament so easily. Fast forward to the Masters and that\u2019s why in no way did I want him to see any of my emotions. I didn\u2019t want to feel like I got him out of the zone.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

After the birdie at the 17th put him in the lead, Nicklaus still had to navigate the 18th hole and wait out the other contenders. He left himself a 40-footer on the final green, one he lagged up to the cup, leaving himself a short putt for par. Jackie, going to his default line in which he reminded his father to keep his head down on putts, did so again. \u201cHe grinned at me, \u2018I can handle this one,\u2019\u2009\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Nicklaus played the last four holes in four under, the final nine in 30 strokes, the round in 65. He led by one, but Kite and Norman still had a chance to tie or beat him. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were in the Jones Cabin beside [the] No. 10 tee,\u201d Jackie said. \u201cMom [Jack\u2019s wife, Barbara], Dad\u2019s mom, Helen. We\u2019re watching it on TV, and he can no longer control what happened. It was actually the first time I saw him nervous all day. He was pacing back and forth. You had two guys who could force a playoff or win outright and I\u2019m thinking, How in the world is dad going to recollect his emotions and thoughts and his energy? I knew he was exhausted at that point, but I knew we\u2019d have to go back out there [if there was a playoff].\u201d <\/p>\n

Kite stayed close and faced a birdie putt on the 18th that narrowly missed. Norman, after falling off the pace with that double bogey at the 10th, stormed back with consecutive birdies at the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th and was tied. A birdie would have won the tournament, a par forcing a sudden-death playoff. But Norman sprayed his approach into the crowd and couldn\u2019t get it up and down. <\/p>\n

Nicklaus had a sixth green jacket and an 18th major championship. \u201cI just remember we had a great embrace, tears, excitement,\u201d Jackie said. \u201cWe walked out of that cabin and a roar erupted.\u201d<\/p>\n
