I knew that if I kept the pressure on and didn't do anything stupid I would probably win.
Jack NicklausIf you'd asked me at 30 where I'd be during the Masters when I was 46, I'd have pictured myself on a boat fishing, smoking a cigar, drinking a mint julep and watching it on television.
Jack NicklausWe donโt have to do a bunch of things to figure out how to win the Ryder Cup. Just go play golf. ... Iโm a little bit too casual probably about a lot of things, but you canโt force good play. Good play comes from good hard work and actually being prepared to play, not being forced to play.

Jack NicklausI think in my case winning fans came as a result of winning tournaments. Certainly, I didn't have too many supporters when I came on Tour. I didn't look like an athlete, I was overweight, had a crew cut, baggy clothes and on top of that I didn't smile much. I was very serious about my game, literally and figuratively the heavy.
