Lee Trevino
It's your Open, Tony
What unfolded from then has gone down in golfing folklore.
The Gods had been smiling on Trevino all weekend, but when his tee shot found a bunker on the par-five 17th it appeared his fun was at an end.
Trevino then had to hack his way to the rough behind the green in four while the composed Jacklin was just short of the green in two.
Trevino was all at sea to save his par while Jacklin needed to get up and down for his birdie. A two-shot swing looked on the cards.
But what happened next will never be forgotten by all who saw it – least of all Jacklin who admitted his career was never the same after this defeat.
Trevino had already metaphorically handed the title to Jacklin on the walk to the green, ‘It’s your Open Tony’. Mind games? They didn’t call him the Merry Mex for nothing. Trevino loved to stir the pot.
But he could walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

The son of a Scunthorpe steelworker, Jacklin had a smooth swing and a jaunty stride. At his best, he was a highly-confident striker of the ball, not least when hitting a huge drive straight down the middle of the fairway on the 18th at Lytham when defending a two-stroke lead over Bob Charles.

Between 1967 and 1972 in The Open, apart from his victory, Jacklin was twice third and twice fifth. His run ended when Lee Trevino chipped in at the 17th at Muirfield in 1972. Jacklin was stunned, bogeyed the last two holes and said: “The heart was ripped out of me. I was honestly never the same again.”
As well as The Open, Jacklin remains indelibly linked with the Ryder Cup. In 1969, he was involved in the concession offered by Jack Nicklaus that tied that year’s match, while later he proved an inspirational captain in four matches f
