"JACK NICKLAUS: He should be here. (Laughter.)"
/Jack Nicklaus's Q&A at Muirfield Village included a "What would Woody think" question about Jim Tressel and Jack serving as his own rally killer later on. But in this sequence he proved that he is absolutely not reading the Muirfield Village club newsetter.
Q. Jason Day has had to withdraw from the tournament needing to take a break before the U.S. Open. I know you've just recently granted him membership to Muirfield Village. What do you see in young Jason?
JACK NICKLAUS: We did?
Q. Just recently.
JACK NICKLAUS: Did what?
Q. He has playing privileges at Muirfield Village.
JACK NICKLAUS: He does, and he's not here? (Laughter.) We'll take that away. (Laughter.) I did not know that.
Does Jason live around here?
Q. Yes, he's married a girl from Ohio.
JACK NICKLAUS: Oh, he did?
Q. I just wanted to get your opinion on his play these days because he's a young star in the making for Australia.
JACK NICKLAUS: He's a good player, and if he's got a gal from -- has he married a gal from Ohio?
Q. Yeah.
JACK NICKLAUS: He should be here. (Laughter.)
**A few people in the room wrote in to clarify that the (laughter) was not Jack's, but the audience. Apparently Jack looked less than pleased.
