1986 Masters
April 13, 1986 – Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Ga.
If this was not the most impressive major of the 18 won by Nicklaus, it was certainly the most memorable thanks to the “Yes sir!” call by Verne Lundquist of CBS after Nicklaus’ holed his birdie on 17 Sunday. Nicklaus trailed by four shots in ninth place heading into the final round. He would close with a 65, eagle the par-5, 15th hole and play the second nine at Augusta in a 6-under 30. Tom Kite and Greg Norman were tied for second, one shot back.
