Ten Years Ago…

Alex Sports

Just a quick post, since it’s Masters week.

Ten years ago this week, Jack Nicklaus finished tied for sixth at The Masters. Big whoop, you say? Well consider: He finished only four shots back. His last three rounds were under par, for a total of five under for the tournament. He finished higher than Tiger Woods. He was 58 years old. I’ll repeat: fifty-freakin’-eight! He had only one hip. Seriously.

Anyway, just throwing that out there as one of the more underrated sports performances in recent history. Thought it deserved its own note.
