The win also gave Nicklaus a record six Masters victories, the first in 1963, less than ten months after his first major win at the 1962 U.S. Open. The 23-year span of Masters victories and 24-year span of major victories are also records. The runners-up were Tom Kite and Greg Norman, whose near-misses at the Masters are also noteworthy. The winner's share was $144,000, more than seven times what Nicklaus earned for his first Augusta win.

Seve Ballesteros gained a share of the lead on the front 9 helped by a hole-out eagle at 8. Jack Nicklaus played his first eight holes in even par, but stormed into contention with birdies at 9, 10 and 11. However, Nicklaus bogeyed the 12th to fall three behind the leaders. Greg Norman, tied for the lead at −7 as he made the turn, double-bogeyed the 10th hole to give Ballesteros the outright lead by one shot over Tom Kite. Ballesteros hit his second shot at 13 to within six feet. After Kite lagged up his own eagle putt on 13, Ballesteros holed his putt for his second eagle of the day and a three shot lead over Kite. Kite then holed his birdie putt to cut the lead back to two. After a par at 14, Nicklaus began his legendary charge at 15. After hitting his 214 yd on approach to 12 ft, he buried the putt for eagle to pull within two shots of Ballesteros. Nicklaus then hit his tee shot on 16 to within 3 feet and after holing his birdie putt he was within one shot of Ballesteros who was playing the 15th hole. Ballesteros, who was in prime position to go for the green in two, pull hooked his approach into the water. Failing to get up and down, Ballesteros bogeyed the hole, giving Nicklaus a share of the lead. Kite made birdie at 15 to enter into a three-way tie with Ballesteros and Nicklaus. After a wayward drive, Nicklaus hit his approach on 17 to 18 ft. After long deliberation, he holed his putt on 17 for sole possession of the lead for the first time in the tournament. He two-putted for par on 18 to post −9 and a one shot lead.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2020/apr/12/the-masters-golf-1986-jack-nicklaus-greg-norman-langer-ballesteros The Masters 1986: Nicklaus wins at 46 – as it happened 12 April 2020 The Guardian 7 May 2020 Ballesteros three-putted the 17th to fall out of contention, but Kite had 12 feet for birdie on 18 to tie Nicklaus. Kite barely missed his putt on the low side to miss a playoff by one shot. Norman, left for dead after his double-bogey on 10, birdied 14, 15 and 16 to pull within one shot of the lead. After hooking his drive way left on 17, Norman made an incredible shot between two pines to within eight feet. Norman buried the birdie putt, his fourth straight, to tie for the lead. Norman then hit a perfect drive on 18, needing birdie for his first major championship. However, Norman pushed his approach shot into the gallery and subsequently missed his 15 ft on par putt to finish one stroke behind. Nicklaus had stormed back, shooting 30 on the back nine, to win his sixth Masters title and became the oldest Masters champion at age 46.http://espn.go.com/golf/blog/_/name/masters_moments/id/6286027 https://web.archive.org/web/20110416044848/http://espn.go.com/golf/blog/_/name/masters_moments/id/6286027 dead April 16, 2011 Rekindling Jack Nicklaus' glory ESPN Bob Harig April 3, 2011 February 9, 2012http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1064735/index.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20091116141754/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1064735/index.htm dead November 16, 2009 Day Of Glory For A Golden Oldie Sports Illustrated Rick Reilly Rick Reilly April 21, 1986 February 9, 2012 Both Ballesteros and Norman stated the most regretful shots of their careers were during the final round of the 1986 Masters.

Nicklaus became (and remains) the oldest winner of a Masters at 1940 1 21 1986 4 13; the previous oldest was Gary Player at 42 in 1978. Nicklaus tied the course record with a 30 on the second nine in the final round, while Nick Price shot a 30 on the second nine a day earlier (tied with four others). Nicklaus' 30 included a bogey, at the par-3 12th. The record for the back nine is now 29, set in the fourth round in 1992 by Mark Calcavecchia, and tied by David Toms in the fourth round in 1998. Gary Koch won the Par 3 contest with a score of 23 (−4); he tied for 16th at 286 (−2) Nick Price set a course record with his third-round 63 (−9), later tied by Greg Norman in the first round in 1996. The previous course record of 64 was set by Lloyd Mangrum in 1940. Price set a single-round record at Augusta with ten birdies in round 3; the record is now eleven birdies (Anthony Kim, second round, 2009). Sam Randolph was low amateur for the second consecutive year. Quotes "Yes sir! The battle is joined. My goodness. There is life in the old Bear yet." – Ben Wright's (CBS Sports) call as Nicklaus sank his eagle putt on the 15th hole to pull within two shots of the lead. "And there's no doubt about it, the Bear has come out of hibernation." – Jim Nantz's (CBS Sports) call as Nicklaus sank his 3-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole to pull within one shot of the lead. "Oh he's pulled it! Oh he has pull hooked that! That's destined for the water! And the foreign invasion is reeling under the Bear's attack!" – Ben Wright's call as Ballesteros pulled his second shot into the water at 15. "Maybe... Yes sir!" – Verne Lundquist's (CBS Sports) call as Nicklaus made his 18 ft 0 on birdie putt on the 17th hole to take sole possession of the lead for the first time in the tournament.
