Ty.🤤🤤
If only the merry Mex played today!
Boy was Jack slow. Lee just got in and ripped it
Lee would have probably gotten me about 6-1 on fan duel
Contrast the way golf was treated by the media in 1971 compared to 2023. ABC allotted one hour for the play-off. Today we get all 18 holes.
Lee Trevino v Jack Nicklaus at Merion. It is hard to imagine what could have been better…maybe a head-to-head at The Old Course.
the hole maps are 3 dimensional 😃
That mex put a hurting on that polar bear! A minority tamed him lol. 😂🎉
Ah, the glorious voices of Chris Shenkel and Jim McKay! Brings back wonderful memories of watching golf in that era. Take me back!
Nicklaus called Trevino and hogan the greatest ball strikers of all time
If lee didn’t hate Augusta so much and was not struck by lightning at butler at least 8 majors
"The ruling here is that you have to putt the dog…I'm of course not serious"
2:18:51 Love the lag 😀
You really have to use your imagination with this picture quality.
everyone bitches about slow play but the best two golfers of all time played terribly slow
Thank you for posting this. I do have some questions about the quality though. Does it look better on Roku or Apple TV, for example? I'm not sure how many generations down this is from the broadcast master, but in addition to it maybe not being that, it also suffers from a great deal of compression artifacts. There is precious little detail, and I do know that live location shooting back in those days was fuzzy, but not this fuzzy.
All that said, I appreciate it being available in any form.
