Well, if you are young in age then I would not blame for not knowing much about Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. However, if you are old and if you are a golf fan then you should never forget Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. They were great players and great fighters. Their rivalry only increased the glamour of Golf and The Masters. Now, it is up to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson to create the same joy in golf.
Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus defined the Masters for the better part of a decade, trading green jackets during a five-year stretch in the 1960s, although rarely going head to head on the back nine of Augusta National.
Now, only the names seem to have changed.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have won five of the last six Masters, and there is little evidence to suggest the 71st Masters will be any different when it starts Thursday.
''We both feel comfortable on the golf course,'' Woods said. ''We both have decent short games, and that golf course is one of the very few golf courses where we can utilize our imagination and creativity. I think once you understand how to play it, and you can build your misses into some short-game situations, you start seeing the same guys up there at the top of the board.''
But not since 2001 have Woods and Mickelson put their names atop the leaderboard at the same Masters.
May be The Masters 2007 will be an exception. May be, Mickelson will be able to put a brave fight against Tiger Woods.
