A two-foot putt in 1969 gave its name to a golf course?
The 1969 Ryder Cup at Royal Birkdale came down to the very last match, between Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin. After Nicklaus holed his putt on the 18th, Jacklin was left with a putt of about two feet to halve the match. Nicklaus picked up Jacklin’s marker and conceded it, saying he did not want to give Jacklin the opportunity to miss. The match was halved, the Ryder Cup was tied 16–16 for the first time in its history, and the USA retained the trophy. The gesture became known as “The Concession”, and years later Nicklaus and Jacklin designed a course together in Florida: the Concession Golf Club.
