Jack: "You’ve got to win some majors to be rated...Oh, sorry Colin."

Mike Dickson on one of the more awkward exchanges during the Sky Sports telecast when Jack Nicklaus stopped in for about a half hour of fantastic banter and nearly commercial-free golf. The topic was the world golf ranking, the idiocy of it in Jack's view and how Luke Donald could have ascended to number one without winning a major.

Monty handled this well and even let out a good-sized chuckle:

As if watching Europe struggle to retain the trophy he led them to two years ago wasn’t bad enough, Colin Montgomerie had salt rubbed in the wound by Jack Nicklaus.

As the pair sat together in the commentary box, Nicklaus declared: ‘You’ve got to win some majors to be rated,’ before cheekily adding: ‘Oh, sorry Colin.’
