Jack Nicklaus was the “frumpy” kid who challenged Arnold Palmer, the beloved General and leader of “Arnie”s Army.” It took years for golf fans everywhere to adapt to Nicklaus' stiff demeanor and style. After all, he was the giant slayer, the chubby Knight that took down Arnold Palmer, the King.
Nicklaus is now golf's beloved elder statesman, a man that finally after all these years, showed his emotions at the conclusion of his final round at The Open.
As the song goes “thanks for all the memories,” Jack.
