Tony Jacklin - Part 3 (The Open Championship and Ryder Cup)

One of England's finest golfers ever, Tony Jacklin, begins by recalling his Open Championship victory in 1969 at Royal Lytham and several close calls, with his loss to Lee Trevino at Muirfield in 1972 his toughest loss. Tony played on seven Ryder Cup teams with "The Concession" by Jack Nicklaus at Birkdale in 1969 the most memorable moment. He transformed the Ryder Cup competition over his four stints as European Captain, insisting on a level of support and commitment for his team consistent with that of his opponent, the U.S. side. He has since released his book, Tony Jacklin: My Ryder Cup Journey, which highlights the important role he played in the history of the event. Tony Jacklin concludes his life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
