GOLF: LEGEND'S MAJOR MILESTONE

- BY NEIL MCLEMAN

GARY PLAYER has marked turning 90 today by declaring himself the third-best player of all time - and revealing the secrets of his plan to live to 100.

The South African was the only non-American to complete the career Grand Slam of Majors until Rory Mcllroy joined the exclusive sixman club at The Masters this year.

The Black Knight won nine Majors + the same as Ben Hogan - and is joint fourth on the all-time list behind Jack Nicklaus (18), Tiger Woods (15) and Walter Hagen (11).

» But Player has declared his friend Nicklaus is the GOAT ahead of his fellow American superstar Woods - and then he comes next.

“Jack is No.1, Tiger No.2, and I'm No.3” said Player. “There's not even a question. How I judge the best players of all time is I say, “There's the record book.”
