Jack Nicklaus – 1986 Masters – #17 Augusta National

All golf fans have seen the iconic photograph of Jack Nicklaus, putter outstretched towards the hole as he holed for birdie on the seventeenth at Augusta National in 1986. This was a run of eagle-birdie-birdie that saw him take the lead at the 71st hole of the tournament.
Generally written off by pundits prior to the championship The Golden Bear was goaded into action by an article in Atlanta Journal-Constitution calling Nicklaus “done, washed up, through” and giving him no chance to win.
A final par 4 saw Nicklaus close with a 65, 7 under for the final 10 holes, 30 for the back 9 and an ultimately winning score of -9 to win his 18th Major title and a record six green jackets.
The round has gone down in history as one of the greatest of all time.
