Golf Hall of Famer Raymond Floyd, the 1986 U.S. Open champ at Shinnecock Hills, isn't afraid top speak his mind

75K views · 990 reactions | We can’t forget who won The Masters in 1986 but let’s revisit the comeback story. Jack Nicklaus was 46 years old and hadn’t won’t a major in six years. The field was stacked and most expected him to be there for a ceremonial weekend, not to actually contend. He was down four strokes as he started the Par 5 15th. This hole rallied the comeback win for the Golden Bear, who shot 30 on the back nine en route to a 65. He won the Masters for his 18th and final major title.

The chip-in on 17 at Pebble could be the most clutch moment in US Open history (2008 Tiger putt is there too). Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus are tied for the lead headed into the final round at 17. Tom missed the green, finishing in thick rough. He played a high, soft chip that dropped perfectly center for a bird. Tom wins the US Open. | Bombs Darts Birds
