This Day in Golf History--July 11

On this date in 1993, Jack Nicklaus two-putted from 35 feet on the final green to win the U.S. Senior Open by one shot over Tom Weiskopf at Cherry Hills Country Club. It was Jack’s second U.S. Senior Open. Weiskopf had no doubt Jack would get down in two. “Who can tell me when Jack Nicklaus has ever three-putted to lose a major championship or missed a putt under pressure?” Weiskopf said. “The guy is the greatest putter under pressure of all time, bar none.”
