Geoff in 2012 US Open, Jack Nicklaus

Neat lines from Jack Nicklaus today, who was on hand at Olympic Club to announce the renaming of the gold medal given the U.S. Open winner and to unveil plans for a Nicklaus room at Golf House.

Talking about what makes it tough to win back-to-back U.S. Opens.

A lot of people say, this golf course doesn't suit my game.  Which to me is the most ridiculous statement you ever hear, for the reason that the golf course is not supposed to suit your game.  You're supposed to suit your game to the golf course.  That's why we play a different site every year, otherwise we'd play on the same site.
