Just that Nicklaus had to drop a birdie on the 18th more often than not to beat a charging Watson, Trevino, Player, Palmer etc. Not cruise as his playing partner shot a closing day 79.

My point is that because of his great mental game, and the simple fact that he does what he needs to win - the other guys
aren't choking. I'm saying that shooting 72 on the final day of the Majors is something that the rest of the field simply can't do. They just don't have the skill to compete with the game Tiger puts up, they're playing their best game and not getting it done.
