[NU Sports] British Open Update: Good Day for the Purple and White

[Jeff Beamsley]

I heard a Frank Deford commentary on NPR about the Jack Nicklaus 1969 Ryder
Cup match with Tony Jacklin.  Here's a link for those who didn't have the
pleasure the first time around.  If you have ever wondered why the British
hold him in such high regard, this is one reason.  It is a real tribute to
the man, his sense of his place in the game, and what sportsmanship is all
about.  Even if he doesn't make the cut, he helped create the game that
Tiger and Luke play so well today.

Our very own Brit, Luke Donald, playing with legends Jack Nicklaus (of Ohio
State) and Tom Watson (of Stanford) , did us all proud today at "The Open"
at St. Andrews, carding a 68 (4 Under), two shots off the lead, held by the
Tiger.  His playing partners each shot 75 (3 Over), leaving "The Golden
Bear" in danger of missing the cut in his last Major championship event.
