Tony Jacklin

The Long and Short of It Golf Podcast by Simon Hill

Episode notes

Tony Jacklin is an Open and US Open champion ('69 and '70) as well as 4 - time Ryder Cup captain. Fair to say, at his peak, Jacklin was one of the biggest names in world golf. Many, however, will remember him for the famous 'concession' putt at the 1969 Ryder Cup given by Jack Nicklaus, which epitomised the spirit in which the game should be played. In this episode, ahead of the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, the guys sat down with one of the main men credited for turning Europe's dismal fortunes in the competition around.
