Jeez, he made so MANY long putts.
What a clutch performer. He simply got it done while others got close.
The true mark of greatness
The first tournament I went to with our grandparents
You have to understand Jack Nicklaus. He didn’t play for money…and by this point he was already wealthy beyond what he could ever spend. Golf also wasn’t the most important thing to him…his family was.
Many players are scared of pressure and choke up or freeze. Jack Nicklaus genuinely enjoyed pressure and competition. When everybody else was crapping their pants he was taking a deep breath and having the time of his life…he played golf for the competition.
That’s why he’s the greatest…it’s not that he didn’t feel pressure…he looked forward to it.
No swing coach, no therapist or trainer. Just a man and his love for pressure and competition.
1980 was an memorable year: the United States Olympic Hockey Team winning the gold medal ("Miracle on Ice"), a filly named Genuine Risk winning the 106th Kentucky Derby and Jack Nicklaus' fourth U.S. Open.
Jack Nicklaus the undisputable GOAT on and off the course.
Old School Muscle pure class!
You are right. The greatest player in history is the one that won the most majors . That's the best players playing in tbe best tournament. It's not Woods like some contemporaries say.
@@marcmarini6365what’s incredible is if Nicklaus had not finished runner up multiple times in majors, used better equipment, and was more serious on physical fitness, he could’ve easily won more majors!
Aoki could have won a couple majors if it weren’t for Jack. Fine, fine player.
Nicklaus had the mental ability to play with ice running through his veins. He could play four consecutive days of consistent & stellar shot-making without considerable trouble or hiccups. Hitting fairways all day, approach shots a blend of steady and fantastic, putting solid and/or great. In this tourney and others, notice down the stretch he didn't end up on the next fairway over, or in big trouble in the trees, or scrambling to save shots. His mental prowess led to a consistency today's golfers don't really know.
Rory McIlroy spoke w Nicklaus at length before the 2011 US Open, after Rory had blown the Masters months earlier. On the heels of speaking w Jack, Rory had a Nicklaus-ice-veins US Open and won it going away. Watch that tourney or final round, Rory's demeanor is unwavering, his shots match his mentality, which is akin to Nicklaus here and many other Nicklaus tournaments.
The best part of this video was the crowd reaction. Just clapping and cheering. No drunken morons yelling "Get in the hole!" on every shot. Jack's sportsmanship on 18, after he made his putt, keeping the crowd away so Ioki could putt was also great.
yep, fans have changed
GET IN THA HOLE!
Charlie Zost , MASHED POTATOES !!!
Aoki was such a competitor. Love watching that guy play.
Jack has huge respect for Aoki's game as well, and has said so.
I was there with my brother and my dad watching my favorite golfer of all time win the US Open on my 18h birthday
Is your dad the guy in the Mets hat?
My uncle Ward caddied for Aoki during this US OPEN
Love these vintage opens
Things that didn't age well: "Lon Hinkle may very well turn out to be one of the superstars of the 80's."
Jack was so consistent with that fade. How could you beat that guy when he was on? Impossible.
Could listen to Peter Aliss all day.
Remember, Nicklaus topped the old majors record when he was 32. The only goal was the grand slam, which only Tiger achieved. Still, Jack is the GOAT. Over a 20 year span (80 majors) Jack finished 1,2 or 3 over 50 times. Woods isn’t even close.

1986: Hold my Pimento cheese sandwich 🥪
The G.O.A.T!
For Jack Nicklaus of all people to have that easy of a putt for 62 and not even TOUCH the hole, that goes to show you're just simply NOT ALLOWED to shoot 62 at a major.
I don't know how Branden Grace finally did it at the 2017 Open Championship. The Spirits finally got bored or something.
nicklaus never hit the ball better than in 1980.
that year jack was number one in greens in regulation.
nicklaus' 1980 total driving stats (a combination of 1/length and 2/accuracy) are the best recorded in us pga tour history
I love the intermission “now let’s take some time to look at the babes”
I've always wondered which moment in Keith Fergus's career he found more exciting at the time. Winning his first tournament, the Memorial, or being neck and neck with Jack Nicklaus at this tournament? Does anyone know?
23.15...that jazz flute music is sick🕺
That tune at 23.20 is sick!!
Parabens para Os Golfistas do Mundo !
Thanks
And the blonde at 23.14 is incredible.. Wow!!!
The golf pretty cool too ha
"and even golfers must eat" cut to fat Stadler! lol
Wonder what she looks like now plus 40 years?
She be 60+ now. Time flies.. Real stunner thojgh
$55,000.00 for first place, how funny. Today first place for a US Open is around $5-7 mill.
that's only the equivariant of $171,523.91 in 2020
Nope 1.8 M. not 5M...
It's why the all time leading money winner is a stupid stat. Who cares. They play for more in 1 Championship today than they use to play almost for a whole year worth of tourney play.
Hogan at 55 looking better than 25 year olds today
What on earth…..???
Hogan was the dude at your club you absolutely do not F with.
Every club has one.
$55,000 of 1980 dollars is more like 200K in today's money. But today the same tournament pays out over 2 million. Damn.
Thanks, Tiger
185k my friend and how the purses have gone up
you will notice lon hinkles hat with AMANA on it . this was part of the beginning of players wearing nascar type ads on their clothing
At least it was just their hats back then. There were still plenty of guys who didn’t even wear hats back then. I think it was John Daly who started renting space on his shirt to whom ever would pay.
Ya'll better stop publishing these "he's done" articles. Ya'll tried it this first time and he came back and won the 1980 US open. Ya'll tried it again in 1986 and he came back and won that green jacket, ya'll better stop playing!
Redo this video so it's in the proper aspect ratio.
More pls
24:12 the big fella picks his nose!
Only weiskoph could fire a 63 and not be a factor!!
Jack/Tiger Ying/Yang
was anyone else thinking of Tony D'Annunzio ??? what a great video though!
Noonan, D’Annunzio, Mitchell, you’re on the tee.
Jack's putting pissed off a lot of opponents lol
37:39 hold up boys, Aoki still has a putt
Jack is back how very original 🙄
Jack (currently) the best Major golfer of all time..
Can Tiger catch him, or has he missed his chance??
To get 3 majors to tie Jack past the age of 44 will be tough for Tiger. The interesting thing about Jack is this: He has 19 seconds! Tiger has 6
Stephen Madonna ... Jacks complete record in the majors is simply amazing..
The consistency shown with (compared to today) inferior equipment, especially golf balls will never be equalled..
@@stephenmadonna6142, Jack is the greatest no matter what, won majors in three decades, almost won the masters in 1998, at 58.
@@michael.prescott4016 Tiger has won majors in three different decades as well.
@@Jamthecoolerator your right,
Horses for courses: Jack picked up 10 of his 18 career majors at Augusta, St. Andrews, and Baltusrol.
Yeah but you’re forgetting about how many majors he finished 2nd (19 times) and how many top 5 and top 10 finishes. Coming in first requires some luck, but consistently putting yourself in a position to win in the majors as Nicklaus did over and over again for 25 years, requires great physical and mental skill.
And the rest at Oakmont, Dallas Athletic Club, Muirfield, PGA National (also a Senior major), Pebble Beach (also a U.S. Amateur), Canterbury, Firestone, and Oak Hill. And another U.S. Amateur at Broadmoor East. And 7 other Senior majors at Greystone, Dearborn, Oakland Hills, and Cherry Hills.
But, yeah, horses for courses.
Mark Vincent there’s nothing wrong with saying horses for courses played a factor. It doesn’t take away from it at all. Tiger’s probably won half or more of his total victories on the same six or seven venues (Torrey Pines, Firestone, Bay Hill, Doral, Muirfield Village, Cog Hill, La Costa)
@@stevenashe8900 25 years? He put himself in position to win majors 38 years apart. His first chance was in the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills, which turned out to be Arnold Palmer's only U.S. Open win, and as late as the 1998 Masters, he put himself in position where he had a real chance to win. He didn't get it done (he finished tied for sixth), but the mere fact that he had a real chance to win The Masters at the age of 58, and 38 years after first having such an opportunity and 36 years after his first major championship shows why he is the greatest that's ever played.
and rafa nadal won 13 slams at french open.does not diminish the feat
Did anyone show Patrick Read this opening of the video 🤷🏻🤦🤣
Like an alpha wolf, who ever now and again keep reminding the pack who was boss.
$55,000 for first place😄…..today probably over $2 million
It's interesting to watch them putting and chipping in ways any teacher these days would instantly try to stop you from doing, and you can see how it's detrimental to their consistency.
Cheaply available slow motion video and data analysis have changed the game greatly.
Was it? Is there any statistical measure we can look at to establish whether top players are better or worse today? Keep in mind that balls are much better around the green now than they were 20+ years ago.
Geez this looks like 1958 never mind 1980..... lol
Great that it exists BUT I watched a restored shell world of golf Yesterday from 1963, it looked incredible, close to new looking footage. This is terrible quality, like a lot of the old NTSC videos tapes from the 90's of anything prior to that decade. There must be a better original somewhere, I have seen better quality cine films dated before this, footage from 1890's china that has been restored, if this is the best quality a channel like this can get, then there's no point trying to find or buy anything else out there. terrible really.
I hate subtitle😫
Fat shaming at 24:10 ? 😂
When politically correct wasn’t the shit mania that’s today…
Aoki lie angle on those clubs how does he play those irons crazy. Way too laid back.
