Headed at upper margin: “The British Open Turnberry”. Caption at lower margin headed:”Title Bout at Turnberry” Head to head for 36 holes, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson wrestled to the end in an epic match for the 1977 British Open". Caption, in full: "'You know,' Jack Nicklaus said, his hands on Tom Watson's shoulders, 'I'm tired of giving my best and finding it's not enough.' The two had just completed the greatest match in the history of the game, Watson finishing 65-66 to win the '77 British Open by one over Nicklaus. On the 10th tee, with the famous lighthouse in the background, Nicklaus stood one ahead. But the lead was gone after a long Watson putt on 15. Nicklaus missed a four footer on 17 that gave Watson the lead. The Golden Bear heroically holed a 32 footer for birdie on 18 - but Watson was two feet from birdie, and he made it."
