Jack Nicklaus wasted no time in congratulating Rory McIlroy after his win at the Masters on Sunday - and for becoming only the sixth golfer to win the career grand slam.
Nicklaus, the North Palm Beach resident, called into the CBS' post-Masters telecast soon after McIlroy, who lives in Jupiter, defeated Justin Rose on the first playoff hole.
"I'm so happy for him. I'm delighted for him," Nicklaus said. "It will take the world off his shoulders and you're now going to see a lot more of really good golf out of Rory McIlroy.
