Jack Nicklaus is the

boy to achieve

golf's

grand

slam

By DEREK JOHN

Excluding President Eisenhower, the most talked-about golfer in the world today is a beefy, crew-cut American college boy called Jack Nicklaus, and nicknamed "Blob-o" by his classmates.

Nicklaus is much more than an outstanding golfer. He is a phenomenon. And at the age of 20 he finds himself hailed as the greatest amateur player since the immortal Bobby Jones.
