Past US and British Open winner, European Ryder Cup captain and World Golf Hall of Famer Tony Jacklin will be looking to roll back the years at the 2013 Bacardi Par 3 World Championship.The Englishman has been invited to take part in the 36-hole stroke play event that tees off today at Turtle Hill Golf Club. And he is very much looking forward to the big occasion."I'm just going to enjoy myself over the next couple of days,” Jacklin told The Royal Gazette. “I shall make a few birdies, I hope, and I have no doubt I shall screw up a few times as well.“I still enjoy the game of golf, if I play well. It’s a bit of a vicious circle: the less you play the worst you play, the worst you play the less you want to play. But I love par 3 golf and have embraced the idea of being able to get around the course in two hours and not have to hit drivers.”Bacardi Par 3 World Championship tournament director Anthony Mocklow is thrilled to have the British golf legend involved in this year’s event.“Anybody that's won two majors and had the opportunity of captaining a Ryder Cup team four times is saying something,” he said. “He is to golf in Europe what Jack Nicklaus is in the US. He’s a class act and a tremendous attribute to the event and he is going to help grow this event into something incredibly special.”Jacklin is set to tee off in today’s opening round in a threesome that also includes Tourism Minister Shawn Crockwell.He was last here nearly two decades ago to lend his support to youngest son Sean, who currently plays in Europe on the Challenge Tour, at a local junior tournament.The 68-year old who currently resides in Florida is regarded as one of the greatest British golfers of his era.Jacklin turned pro in 1962 and seven years later won his first major when he became the first British player to win the Open Championship in nearly two decades at Royal Lytham & St Annes. The following year he captured a second major after winning the US Open in challenging conditions at Hazeltine National Golf Club.In all, Jacklin won four titles on the PGA Tour, eight on the European Tour and two on the Champions Tour.He was a playing member of the Great Britain and Ireland Ryder Cup team of the late 1960s and 1970s as well as the first European team in 1979.Jacklin was involved in one of the most memorable moments in Ryder Cup history at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in 1969. After his eagle putt on 17 evened his match with Jack Nicklaus, Nicklaus conceded Jacklin’s two-foot putt on 18, halving the match, and ending the Ryder Cup with a tied score.Jacklin later served as the non-playing captain of Europe in four consecutive Ryder Cups between 1983 and 1989. During his stint as non-playing captain he captained Europe to its first Ryder Cup victory in nearly three decades and their first victory in the United States in 1987.He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2002 and retired from tournament golf two years later at the age of 60.
