Jack's Grandson: "Just he played golf for a living."

/

The best college football writer in the land--Chris Dufresne of the LA Times--filed a note and a nice line about Jack Nicklaus grandson Nick O'Leary of Florida State.

O'Leary is the star tight end for the Seminoles, who are competing for the national title Monday night.

In case you've been living on Mars and hadn't heard: Florida State junior tight end Nick O'Leary is the grandson of golf great Jack Nicklaus.

"I mean, it's just like anything else," O'Leary said Friday. "Just he played golf for a living."

Yes, the same way Picasso just painted for a living.

Golf.com's Mike Walker caught a radio interview Jack gave in advance of the big game to talk FSU football. Considering Grandpa has only missed one game of his grandson's three-year career, it's not a shock to learn that the Golden Bear and Grandma Barbara will be in Pasadena for the game Monday.

Oh, and that's a forecasted high of 76 Monday. Bring a sweater Jack, it might get chilly in the second half.

Stevie Williams: Ko Coach Firing "Unethical" & "Ill-Timed"

Nice to see looper extraordinare raise several vital questions about the firing of Lydia Ko's coach Guy Wilson in this Radio New Zealand interview, calling it a "staggering" situation and "not the way to start your pro career."

He also says Ko's caddie for the last 6-8 weeks has been let go and questions if this is all driven by her signing with IMG. Williams also points out that Wilson was never any significant amount of money for his 11 years worth of work. Thanks to Stina for sending this.

Don't Be Shocked If Dufner Tees Off Early Saturday

Nice use of Twitter by Jason Dufner to lobby for a shortened Northwestern Mutual World Challenge so that the famous Auburn grad can watch the team he spoke to earlier this year play in the SEC Championship game.

And nice use of Twitter by Tiger Woods to quickly shoot down Dufner's request for an Auburn-shortened 36-hole event.

PGATour.com with all the details.

Bad news for Duf: cold temperatures make frost delays almost inevitable this week. That's not stopping him from an onslaught, later Tweeting a cryptic warning that Saturday at Sherwood could be a "Caddyshack Saturday."
