DUBLIN, Ohio – Jack Nicklaus had planned to be at Muirfield Village when the Workday Charity Open finished Sunday, but those plans changed after officials moved up final-round tee times because of inclement weather.
Since the Golden Bear couldn’t make it in time to congratulate the winner of the first of back-to-back events at Muirfield Village, he instead sent a text to the champion – or at least he thought.
While Justin Thomas was sinking a 50-footer for birdie on the first playoff hole in a playoff against Collin Morikawa, Nicklaus' plane was getting ready to take off.
