With a bad hip that required major surgery just months after this tournament, Jack coming in 6th at the age of 58 is beyond legendary. It shows why he’s the GOAT. His first significant win was in 1953 when he won the Ohio State Junior Amateur and an astonishing 45 years later a top 10 finish in a major?! You’ll never see another Jack Nicklaus

Shane Breon the roar when he chips in (at three, I think, is incredible- even on a tv clip that’s 20 years old). I bet there hasn’t been a roar like that since.

Jack's last hurrah, and my second favorite Masters aside from '86. Just to see his name on the leaderboard with Duval and Couples and Mickelson (at 2:58) was nothing short of astonishing. He transcended generations. Still the GOAT.......

My Dad and I were trying to follow Jack that Sunday. One of my favorite memories in the 7 or so years I was able to attend tournament rounds was on the 7th hole that day. Jack sank the birdie, and we could only hear the crowd's reaction from ten people deep. One guy runs up, stops directly in front of us, gives a steroid-flared fist pump and yells "Jack is back!" And then he ran off, never to be seen again. It was unbelievable, and something I will never forget.

Jack Nicklaus did actually show up on some leaderboards during the '90s, it was only after significant hip surgery in the summer of '98 that he finally became incapable of contending. By that time of course it didn't really matter, he'd long since done it all.

This tournament had it all....from the Legends hitting the honorary tee shots to Gary Player making the cut, 58 year old Jack Nicklaus scaring the young guys (even with a bad hip) , Paul Azinger playing great after cancer, David Toms shooting lights out , Mark O'Meara getting his first pro major....all the great names Duval, Couples, Mickelson and others. Definitely one of the most enjoyable Masters for the fans.

Those roars for Jack... wow..

Wouldn't have made any difference anyway, our varsity golf team was so talented, Mark leading the way. He was always kind to everyone and had such a great disposition. I think my dad spoke to him more than I ever did but we said our cordial "hi's" in the corridors and breaks. Ironically, that show of emotion at 18 is the most I ever saw from him (understandable).

At 1:46 ish, the Venturi analysis of the Couples' blocked iron into the water on 13 was brilliant

I've been a Jack Nicklaus fan/borderline groupie my entire life. In fact my wife and I and took out kids on a pilgrimage to Columbus, Ohio to visit the Jack Nicklaus museum on The Ohio State University campus. It was truly a great experience and what made the museum so special was the fact it was more about Jack's family than simply him. They had photos where he would hop on a plane after completing the second round of a tournament so he could be at his kids football games that night. He would then get back on the plane in the middle of the night and return to the tournament site for 3rd round and of course often would win. People often talk about his great victory in the 86 Masters at the age of 46 but I also point to the 98 Masters which may have been an even greater moment when at the age of 58 he shoots a 4 under 68 and finishes in a tie for 6th just 4 shots back of the leader.

Awesome put by Omeara on 18 under all that pressure.

If there is ever a greater example of how EVERY moment and every shot in golf at this level matters it's in this tournament. On Saturday Freddy stuffs it at 13 from 200 yards and makes eagle - a day later one bad swing from 160 straight up costs him the tournament. Wow.

@Calvacade of Fred Couples 100% - and the crazy thing is he drove the ball beautifully for that entire back 9 - he just double crossed every important shot at 13 that afternoon (the drive and the 3rd shot). The Venturi commentary is so perfect explaining that - how when you try to avoid doing something you end up doing the exact thing that compounds the error. I think a lot of people remember this as a tournament that Duval kind of handed to O'Meara but I still think to this day it was Freddys to win. Also a huge moment that wasn't talked about so much was O'Meara at 12 blocking one onto a far too aggressive line that somehow stays up. It's almost crazy to think that may also have been the difference between him and Freddy and it was ironically the exact same thing that saved him in 1992 on the exact same hole! What a sport golf is huh!

Am i crazy or did Jim Nantz do this? If Jim Nantz ran for president i would vote-- he is smart, positive, has a sense of humor, knows how to talk to people (an underrated skill), and genuine. Probably the best broadcaster of all time.

I love the way they introduced the holes.

0:00 no your eyes aren't deceiving that is Jack Nicklaus in contention in the early parts of the final round

I wish Freddie would've won the masters that year he was so close! I remember his 2nd shot at the 13th hole oh baby! Freddie has been favorite golfer of all time!

Got the only hole-in-one of my life on this day. Went and got in 18 in the morning, stiffed it all day. Nearly holed out on 14 and 15 for eagles. Came to 16 at -5; hit another one perfect and said "well that's got no way" and it 2 hopped and rolled in for the ace. 154, 9 iron! Of course 3 putted 18 for the 66. Came home and watched Tiger's big brother win and said to my friends "you can expect the unexpected today" and no one knew this was coming! Great job Mark. PS. Why was Payne Stewart never invited? Guess they didn't get along too well

I wanted Freddy Couples to win so bad. O'Meara's win seemed to come out of nowhere. He was right there, but I thought it was a Couples/Duval race, then O'Meara birdied the 18th and won it.

Loved Jack’s last run, happy Mark is a part of Masters history, and to have Tiger welcome him is awesome

This is why Jack is the GOAT.

I remember watching this and thinking Jack may just pull this off again. Also, I hear people complain in current years about "lack of broadcast" time in the Masters... man, they should have been around 30-40 years ago when you never saw the front 9 broadcast live...

Wow.. never realized this before.. at 1:02:50 Ken Venturi comes back from the future.. "And walking cross the Hogans bridge is Olazabal.. who has TWO green jackets..".. :-)

This was one of the most exciting but ultimately disappointing Masters that I've watched. Nothing against O'Meara, but he's 5th at best of who I would've wanted to win. First would've been Jack. If he could've pulled that off, I don't care whatever else happened in the future, you'd never convince me he wasn't the greatest all time (I still think he is). Second would have been Freddy. How can you not enjoy watching him and root for him? Duval would've been next. One of my favorite players and a beautiful, easy swing second only to Couples. After that, it would've been cool to see Zinger come all the way back from cancer. Like I said, I like O'Meara and this is nothing against him. But there were some many other better stories that could've happened with a shot here or there.

Man this was Fred’s tournament

Nobody was better than Jack. Nobody
