The 1986 Masters Tournament at Augusta National was the last of Jack Nicklaus record 18 majors. At the age of 46 it was arguably the most improbable of those titles and certainly one of the most compelling dramas in the history of sport. Through exclusive interviews personal reflections and captivating footage Yes Sir! Jack Nicklaus And His Historic 1986 Masters Win celebrates the many layers of this thrilling come-from-behind triumph and this where-were-you moment in history.

But without a major championship trophy to place on the mantle since 1980 the 46-year-old seemed a distant shot to win another green jacket. However with his son Jack II as his caddy this father-son Sunday stroll turned into a breathtaking edge-of-your-seat final round capped by a back-nine 30 that allowed Jack Nicklaus to claim his sixth Masters title and provide the exclamation point on his legacy as golf s greatest championship. Yes Sir!
