Golf pro Jack Nicklaus won the Masters in 1965. In the very same year, the Montreal Canadiens took home the Stanley Cup, the NBA Championship was won by the Celtics, and Willie Shoemaker won the Kentucky Derby. In 1986, Nicklaus won his last Masters. Subsequently, all three major sports events mentioned before happened once more. Déjà vu to say the least!
