Classic final rounds

[fenwayrich]

Two legendary rounds from an earlier time:

Arnold Palmer's 65 to win the 1960 US Open at Cherry Hills from 7 behind, including 6 birdies in the first 7 holes.

Johnny Miller's 63 to win the 1973 US Open at Oakmont, in which he hit all 18 greens in reguation

If you have a link for the latter, I'd love to see if. Miller gets a load of stick for referring to if, but it's one of the great rounds

Few belters. Stenson/Mickleson which formed part of my weekend viewing
Woods and Rocco Mediate? where Tiger got it done on one leg
Seve at St Andrews and that putt and fist pump on the 18th
Faldo and his 18 pars
Mickleson and Rose going toe to toe in the RC
Watson and Nicklaus at Pebble Beach where Tom chips in and does a jig (also the front cover of a short game book he wrote and I had once - no idea where that went)

Watson at Turnberry 2009, it was heart wrenching to watch. Great watch tho.

Shame he didn't win, but his interview sometime afterwards and his outlook towards it, was fantastic.

Slazenger later produced a set of irons based on the 1940s set of MacGregor Tommy Armour 915Ts that Miller used that year, they were called the J63M, as shown below.

I've got a spare set of the Slazengers, 3 to 9 irons, yours for £60 plus carriage.

The Duel in the Sun at Turnberry 1977. 106th Open. Look it up on You Tube.

The long putt by Nicklaus on the last, I think. Best putt ever when it had to go in, just for a chance of taking Watson into a playoff.

89 open at royal troon, Norman birdied the first 6, drove it into right hand fairway trap at the last. Calcaveccia the victor. Another of Norman's unlucky days in a major ?

oh, I had a set of them. Millar had a real purple patch around them. I remember him finishing one comp with a 61, and winning, then starting the next comp with a 61.
