Golf’s proudest moment took place in Muirfield’s men’s room
Next week the Open Championship will take place at Royal Birkdale, the same venue that hosted the 1969 Ryder Cup, which is renowned for the Concession. On the final green of the final day Jack Nicklaus conceded Tony Jacklin’s two-foot putt, leading to the first tie in the Ryder Cup, and the two have been milking that act ever since. They collaborated on only one course design project, named the Concession, and Jack’s website refers to the gesture, in typical Nicklaus understatement, as “the greatest moment of sportsmanship in golf.”
