Tom Watson (golfer)

Golf, United States. Watson beat Jack Nicklaus head to head in several of the biggest moments of the late 1970s and early 1980s: the 1977 Masters, the 1977 Open at Turnberry, where they played the last two rounds together and Watson won by one shot in the "Duel in the Sun", and the 1982 US Open at Pebble Beach, decided by Watson's chip-in at the 17th. Nicklaus finished second each time, and Watson's peak years are largely the story of beating him.
