Larry Nelson - Part 2 (The Major Championships)

FORE the Good of the Game

World Golf Hall of Fame member Larry Nelson looks back on his three major championship wins and a few of the near misses. He begins by recounting his hometown win at the 1981 PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club sporting the iconic Amana hat for which players were paid $100 per week to wear. Larry then bested Seve Ballesteros and Tom Watson at the 1983 U.S. Open at Oakmont CC shooting 65-67 on the weekend to set a U.S. Open final 36-hole scoring record which has yet to be equalled, hitting all 18 greens in the final round. He won the PGA again at PGA National in 1987 besting Lanny Wadkins in a playoff while overcoming tough weather and course conditions. Larry Nelson wraps up this segment by recalling where he would take his one career mulligan, "FORE the Good of the Game."
