Golf-McIlroy must strive harder to be the greatest - Nicklaus (Reuters)
Dec 28 (Reuters) - World number two Rory McIlroy has the talent but he must work harder to dominate golf, 18-times major title winner Jack Nicklaus has said.
McIlroy is only behind Australian Jason Day in the world rankings and has won four majors in his career so far, the last of which came in 2014.
"Rory is one of those young men who has got a tremendous amount of talent," American Nicklaus told the BBC.
"He has won and played on his talent to this point. If he wishes to dominate and go forward then he's got to improve. He has to work hard."
"I mean, whatever Rory does, he has established himself as one of the great players that has ever played the game.
