Golden Bear says Tiger still on major record pace

9:37 am on 11 April 2013

Jack Nicklaus was startled to learn that Tiger Woods has not won a major in nearly five years but the golfing great is convinced his younger fellow American will go on to eclipse his record total of 18 wins.

Though Woods has endured a lengthy grand slam drought since his remarkable playoff victory in the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines, Nicklaus believes the 37-year-old is simply too driven and too focused to fail in his long-targeted bid.

The Masters begins on Friday.
