Mcilroy meets 'bear'

Jack Nicklaus has told Britain's Rory McIlroy that he needs to add patience to his armoury if he is to continue his climb up golf's world rankings.

The 20-year-old from Northern Ireland has risen swiftly to ninth in the world rankings but has just a solitary win from the European Tour.

McIlroy, who has joined the PGA Tour this year, told reporters he had lunch last week with 18-times major winner Nicklaus and received a few tips from the maestro.
