McIlroy must ‘move on’

Jack Nicklaus is backing Rory McIlroy to bounce back in time for the Masters but insisted the world number one must “move on” and forget about his problems with his Nike clubs.

Speaking during the NBC telecast of the Honda Classic, the 18-time major winner reluctantly weighed in on McIlroy’s shocking decision to walk off the course after completing just eight holes of his second round in seven over par.

“He’s got to move on,” Nicklaus said. “I really don’t know if it was a wisdom tooth or what it is, but I know that Rory is such a good player, such a talented kid and such a nice kid and he wants to do right.
