Question 3

These two golf rivals faced each other in "The Duel in the Sun" at an unusually non-overcast British Open in 1977. A Grantland analysis in 2011 showed that relative to the rest of the field, two of the ten most dominant major tournament performances by any player in the previous 50 years both occurred in that same tournament, where the 2nd-place finisher still finished 10 strokes ahead of the rest of the field. Name both players.
