This Day in Golf History: March 1

On this date in 1976, Jack Nicklaus won the Tournament Players Championship (later years The Players) at Inverrary Country Club in Lauderhill, Florida. Jack was back on his game, a long way from the 82 he had shot earlier in the year at the Bing Crosby Pro-Am. Nicklaus won by three strokes over J.C. Snead, played the par 5s 13 under par and didn't make a bogey in a final-round 65, seven under par. "
