"Seve (Ballesteros) went to that Masters not having played very much golf," Nicklaus explained.
"I remember he and I were playing a practice round and he said to me 'I'm not as sharp as I should be'.
"As soon as he said it, I knew when Steve came down the stretch on Sunday, he wasn't going to be as tough as he'd usually be. When he hit his ball into the water at 15 in the final round, it was the type of swing you'd expect from somebody who wasn't sharp.
"And being sharp is being tournament tested on a recent basis. "
Key words: being tournament tested on a recent basis
