Jack Nicklaus
@jacknicklaus
On this day in 1962, a 22-year-old Jack Nicklaus won his first major championship and first of a record-tying four U.S. Opens, defeating Arnold Palmer in an 18-hole playoff at Oakmont played in Palmer's Pennsylvania backyard. After the playoff, Palmer uttered prophetic words: "Now that the big guy is out of the cage, everybody better run for cover." @usga #usopen #jacknicklaus #goldenbear #nicklaus #usga #arnoldpalmer #oakmont #golf
