On this day, July 15, 2005....

The day after he appears on Scottish currency, Jack Nicklaus plays his last round in the Open Championship. The three time Champion (Muirfield 1966, St Andrews 1970 and St Andrews again in 1978), as well as seven time runner-up shoots a level par 72, but misses the cut by three shots. Most appropriately, Nicklaus' final shot in The Open was a 15 foot putt for birdie on the 18th, underneath the windows of the R&A clubhouse. The Championship itself was won by the man who has made the beating of Nicklaus' professional record of 18 major titles his career goal - Tiger Woods.
