Jack Nicklaus won his 6th Masters in 1986, 23 years after his first. He was ranked 33rd in the world going into that week.
If Tiger wins this week, it will be his 6th Masters, 23 years after his first. He is ranked 33rd in the world going into this week.

You will likely never see anyone in the final group of a U.S. Open hit 18 greens in regulation, so watching Fitzpatrick hit 17 greens (drove 5 & hit 8 in two) today, you may well have just seen the best final round performance from a ball striking perspective in US Open history.
