Hear Jack Nicklaus discuss Tom's swing
Swing Sequence: Tom Watson
A frame-by-frame analysis of Tom's swing in 1980 and 2009 with audio by Jack Nicklaus

Swing Sequence: Tom Watson
Tom had a broad stance in 1980, his head well behind the ball (top photo). Today, his stance is narrower (bottom). I think it was between the two at Turnberry.
