Item Description
Raymond Floyd, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus sit on the Swilken Bridge at the 18th hole of the 1995 British Open in St. Andrews, Scotland. Bid for this classic golf image that is matted and framed, won't it look fantastic hanging in your den or man cave?
After capturing the first two legs of the modern Grand Slam in 1960, Arnold Palmer was convinced by friend and business manager Mark McCormack that he needed to enter—and win—the British Open, which happened to be at St. Andrews that year. So low was the prize money, so arduous the travel, and so archaic the qualifying procedures that few Americans ever ventured there. Palmer didn’t win that year, finishing second by one stroke to Australia’s Kel Nagle, but he reinvigorated the tournament, elevating it back to major status. Palmer won it the next year, and again in 1962. He never would triumph at St. Andrews, but established the classic farewell gesture when he posed on the Swilcan Bridge in 1995, ending his British Open career with a missed cut on rounds of 83-75.
