The 1970 Open Championship was known more for Doug Saunders' 72nd hole collapse than Jack Nicklaus' second career Claret Jug.

However, Nicklaus did provide a memorable moment of his own in the Monday playoff win over Saunders. Nicklaus holed an eight-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at St. Andrews, and then joyfully flung his putter into the air, nearly hitting the runner-up in the head.

The memory was relived with the aid of Lego.
