The year was 1978. Jack Nicklaus had gone 10 major championships without a win, the longest winless run at majors in eight years. He was 38 years old and far from the form that saw him win three straight majors. The tournament was the British Open, at famed St. Andrews, and Nicklaus went over in hopes of snagging one or two more major titles before his legacy went with the blowing, Scottish wind. That week, Nicklaus snagged his 15th major title, taking the Claret Jug by two shots. This week, Tiger Woods has a chance at his 15th, five years before Nicklaus when he pulled off the feat. It might not just be the best chance Woods has this year at winning a major, it might be his best chance ever.
