Duel in the Sun

For those that did not see the final round with Watson and Nicklaus at Turnberry 1977.
It is being shown as a documentary on Sky Golf.

Turnberry, the greatest links course in the UK.

Bold shout

Would have at least RCD and TOC above it


And some would have Dornoch and Muirfield above it as well with Portrush close

Or Carnoustie or Troon.

Having said that, the Duel in the Sun was amazing, more so when it happened rather than how it is shown on the documentary.

As I said on another thread 1977 was the year I started playing and watching it got me more enthused about playing.

Turnberry the most picturesque and best links course in the British Isles.

I remember it well. Afraid the VHS video of it is long gone but wow, what a phenomenal last day. 1 shot between Watson & Nicklaus, 65 v 66 final round and 10 shots from 2nd to 3rd place. I’d say Stenson v Mickleson final round matched it.

Best Open course I’ve walked during an Open (I’ve not done Royal St George’s & Hoylake) has to be Muirfield by 2 country miles. Turnberry is comfortably 2nd.
