Nicklaus hails Woods after Memorial win

Jack Nicklaus has hailed Tiger Woods following his win at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio.

Woods chipped in a stunning shot on the 16th as he equalled the golfing legend's record of 73 PGA Tour triumphs.

"The most unbelievable, gutsy shot I've ever seen," said the 72-year-old. "Look at the position he was in. If he's short, the tournament is over. If he's long, the tournament is over. He puts it in the hole."

The win was Woods's second tournament victory of the year.
