Nicklaus implyed Mcllroy need to find the best balance

Nicklaus implyed Mcllroy to be interfered too much by outside, to rest too long between the U.S. Open and British Open. He believes that Mcllroy to become the greatest player in history, need to find the best balance. In addition, Nicklaus also talked about problems of the overall decline of U.S. athletes, Tiger Woods' comeback.

After McIlroy won the U.S. Open last month, predictions that Golf prophets made to him  become quite mad. Perhaps the most insane comments came from an American reporter, after a week he implyed that McIlroy will become the first one to win 19 games in majors in history. Obviously, this is his slightly ironic tribute to the 18 champion.

After hearing such a statement Jack Nicklaus laughed. From the first victory (1962 U.S. Open) to the last victory (1986 U.S. Masters), Jack Nicklaus to re-define the great standard. This standard can be challenged by very few people, so that Tiger Woods has dreamt of surpassing Nicklaus one day from childhood.

It is also for this reason, Nicklaus with a little frown and is a little puzzled when he heard the way of McIlroy preparing for the British Open. McIlroy will rest for three weeks without playing golf, not only that, during this period he also participated in a series of social activities, and intensively accepted the media's  interview.

"This is a very long vacation." Nicklaus said cautiously, "I understand McIlroy's schedule is very tight, in addition to the arrangement of the television and sponsorship, he will have to watch the Wimbledon tennis tournament. The only thing I can imagine is that: he will not play much golf recently, if he surrendered a disappointing result at the British Open, I'm sure people will criticize this vacation is too long, we soon will find: the vacation is to give him full power, or to deplete his energy.

"I always think the right time of rest are beneficial for the psychological and golf, but every golfer should decide how to do is the best for him. McIlroy is not the first player to develop a schedule and strategies according to Grand Slam. Ben Hogan do like that, Bobby Jones do like that, so did I and Tiger Woods was the same.
