Even more amazing was the way Nicklaus outsprinted Woods and several other young stars in the final round. He shot 68 with two three-putt greens, while Woods shot 70. In analyzing his performance, Nicklaus was less euphoric than others. Because you don't need all that strength to hit out of the rough, because there is no rough. Experience means an awful lot.
Nobody can take a run at every putt, because they're just too difficult to putt.
So if I ever have a chance to make a run at these guys, this would be the place. Nicklaus was particularly happy with his putting. The putter is really stable. Even when he failed to birdie any of the final three holes, the crowds paid homage to his accomplishments and his career. It was a golf history lesson as well as a marvelous tournament.
