Masters Tee Shot Goes Awry
Printed
The Masters
Jack Nicklaus is fortunate he did not harm anyone together with his Masters tee shot — the Golden Bear’s ceremonious begin to the match did not go as deliberate … forcing spectators to duck for canopy as his ball sailed over their heads and into the bushes.
The 86-year-old kicked issues off at Augusta by taking an honorary first swing on Thursday … and he knew instantly it wasn’t going to make his prolonged profession spotlight reel.
Nicklaus’ tee shot bolted left as a substitute of nailing the golf green … nevertheless it’s all good, contemplating he is not competing for his seventh inexperienced jacket in 2026.
The 18-time main winner laughed off the hilarious blooper … and as quickly as he knew nobody was harmed, he shouted over to them — we’re assuming it was a lighthearted apology for the scare.
We’re gonna give Nicklaus a mulligan right here — in any case, he lately had carpal tunnel surgical procedure.
Afterward, Nicklaus admitted his aim was easy — he did not wanna harm anyone.
“I said spread out on both sides because I don’t want to kill anybody,” Nicklaus joked. “If it had been a little closer, I might have. I got it high enough to hit it about 110 yards over their heads on the left.”
“I don’t know what was running through my mind other than not hurt anybody. But it’s always a great privilege and an honor to do that and start off the Masters.”
There is no talks of retiring from the glory, both — Nicklaus mentioned so long as he can nonetheless hit the ball, he is gonna give it a whirl.
