Master's final Masters?
AUGUSTA: For Jack Nicklaus this might be about as close as he'll ever come to giving a farewell speech at Augusta National. He leaned forward just a bit, eyes widening, and revealed what was going on in his mind.
``I would say the chances of not seeing me here next year are a lot greater than seeing me,'' Nicklaus said. ``It's far more than 50 per cent that I won't play here anymore.''
Just don't start planning a farewell tour. Nicklaus is leaving that sort of thing to Arnold Palmer, who is playing in his 50th — and final — Masters.
No one has more green jackets than Nicklaus. No one provided a more stirring tournament than Nicklaus in 1986, winning his sixth Masters at age 46. No one played so well for so long (remember that sixth-place finish in '98 when Nicklaus was 58?).
``People come up to me and say, `Oh, Jack, don't quit playing Augusta. We like to see you play,''' Nicklaus said.
``But how much do they really see me play? They walk up on me and say, `Oh, there's Jack, let's see him hit this 5-iron.' ``Then they go see Tiger.''
