The Local Knowlege

Who was that man banging on McIlroy's window?

It was Jack Nicklaus, as Derek Lawrenson recounts in the Daily Mail in a story on Rory McIlroy's rising popularity.

"McIlroy was leaving a shopping mall in Florida one night when a retired golfer came running over and banged on the window of his courtesy car," Lawrenson writes. "‘I thought it was you,’ the man said. ‘I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Jack Nicklaus.’"
