Sporting checked pants and a yellow shirt, a 46-year-old Jack Nicklaus roared past eight players in the final round of the Masters to win his 18th and final major 24 years ago today.
On April 13, 1986, the Golden Bear recorded five birdies and an eagle on the back nine of the final round en-route to his landmark sixth green jacket.
Nicklaus's final Masters triumph came improbably. At 46 years old, Nicklaus had not won a major in two years. In 1986, he had missed the cut in three of his previous seven tournaments and withdrew from a fourth.
