## Resource

In the summer of 1977, Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus played 36 holes of golf that would forever change how we think about sporting competition. Over two days on Scotland's Ailsa Course, they matched each other shot for shot, separated from the field by double digits, locked in a private duel that produced some of the most breathtaking golf ever played. We break down every crucial moment of the final rounds that made Turnberry legendary.
