  • nick faldo there

  • Great footage... but I have to take issue with the title - it's not the British Open.. It is THE Open..

  • Golf, played in the way it was designed to be played.

  • the greatest match in a championship, played by two golfers in their peak

  • whats the theme song's name!?

  • Thanks a ton for posting this video! Amazing what they were able to do with the equipment back then!

  • I wonder if Tiger had been in his prime back in 77 if he would have outgunned Watson and Nicklaus. Have only seen brief clips of this historic championship but I suspect if Tiger was sent in a time machine back to 1977 he would make it a Trio in the Sun.

  • Probably. Tiger did MC last month at Turnberry. He is able to recover from errant tee shots at most courses, last month, he could not.

    Watson hit his drives about 15 yards further in '09 than in '77. And the course was about 400 yards longer in 09.

  • If Tiger went back to 1977, it would be more like Threesome in the sun, than Trio!

  • Roger Maltbie looked goofy back in '77.

  • Very appropriate that this is on Youtube for everyone to see since we may have a repeat performance 32 years later, though not in the Sun.

  • fantastic posts, nldhstn!! thanks for uploading eight wonderful parts of this historic british open - the duel in the sun - eventually between tom watson and jack nicklaus. many stars!!
