Tony Jacklin became a British folk hero in 1969 at Royal Lytham when he became the first native player to win the British Open since Max Faulkner in 1951.
By the time he won the 1970 U.S. Open, he was as big as The Beatles. The son of a truck driver, Jacklin capped off his Hall of Fame career by breathing new life into the Ryder Cup as four-time captain of the European squad (1983-1989).
