AUGUSTA, Ga. – Three men hit a tee shot and then embraced on the first tee.
But when those three men happen to be Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson and the setting is Augusta National Golf Club and the start of the 86thedition of the Masters, it is a moment washed in nostalgia.
Nicklaus, the 18-time major winner and winner of six Green Jackets here, wearing a yellow sweater and hat, was the eighth person to become an honorary starter, a tradition at the Masters dating to 1963.
