The Golden Bear Humbles Rory

       We have all had people walk up to us at a store and they remember us and start talking. The problem is we just can't place them or recall who that person is. When that happens with Jack Nicklaus and perhaps the next number one golfer in the world Rory McIlroy it can be pretty comical. Rory was at a golf course owned by Jack and their encounter goes something like this.           

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Rory McIlroy may want to start wearing a name tag around the Bear’s Club.
McIlroy said he ran into Jack Nicklaus Tuesday at Nicklaus' club in Jupiter, near the Honda Classic, but Nicklaus didn’t recognize him.
“He didn’t have his glasses on,” McIlroy said.
McIlroy said the comical exchange went something like this:
Nicklaus: “Who is that? Who is that?”
McIlroy: “It’s me.”
Nicklaus: “Who?”
McIlroy: “Me.”
Nicklaus: “Who?”
McIlroy: “Rory.”
Nicklaus is a McIlroy fan. Later Tuesday, Nicklaus told media he believed McIlroy would win “a lot of majors.”

McIlroy is the highest ranked player in the world at No. 2 in the Honda Classic field. McIlroy can displace Luke Donald as No. 1 with a victory this week.
