  3. I notice on the 20th there was a leaf giving Player a perfect line for his putt. I wonder how that got there ? Gary wasn't being naughty was he ? How unlike him…..

  4. Heard this from someone who was "there" Lema put one OB on17 as he was about to hit his 3off tee Player asks "what ball are you playing" Lema replys "if this goes OB you can have the F*******g hole Gary" Never recovered. now going to watch video to see if true

  5. It is/was not suprising that 'Gary Player' won.  He was once quoted to say:  "Golf is like an exam paper, one does not question it, one does it."  'Tony Lema,' was later to have died in a plane crash.

  6. Always considered this match one of the greatest golf matches, if not THE greatest, of all time. US Open Champion vs British Open Champion. Golf lost Tony Lema too soon. A great talent.
