The Masters
Runner-up: Jack Nicklaus
Tom Watson won his only Masters title by two shots over Jack Nicklaus. Watson and Nicklaus had formed the great rivalry of the era, and their 1977 Open Championship duel at Turnberry is legendary. Watson's ball-striking and putting were superb throughout the week.
