#Repost from jacknicklaus: "On this day in 1966, Jack Nicklaus won his first Open Championship, becoming only the fourth golfer in history to complete the career Grand Slam. Nicklaus recalls: “When the moment came to accept the trophy, the tears began welling up and I couldn’t get any words out. Being about to receive something that even I, never much of a self-doubter, had genuinely doubted would ever be mine was extremely emotional. Finally, I asked the people to excuse me and to let me just stand there and enjoy myself for a moment. It’s a moment I still enjoy recalling as much as any in my career.” #theopen #britishopen #muirfield #golf #goldenbear #nicklaus #jacknicklaus"
