Palmer Challenger: Nicklaus Fast Yet One of Golf's Slowest
Oakmont, Pa. Jack Nicklaus, the new National Open champion, is a young man whose career has sped ahead yet he is among golf's slowest players. His delicate putting touch and calm, deliberate process contrast with Arnold Palmer's power. Nicklaus, 22, is the youngest Open king since 1923 and has signed a six-figure pro contract after leaving Ohio State, planning to finish his business degree later. He is poised to win many more championships.
