Rory McIlroy who really should have won the Masters but choked in the last round did something very smart after losing his 4 shot lead in that major golf championship.

He had a long talk with the greatest golfer of all time Jack Nicklaus "The Golden Bear". Nicklaus gave the 22 year old Irish golfing phenom some great advice which McIlroy shared with reporters after his awesome first round yesterday.

"He emphasized so much to me about not making mistakes," McIlroy said, referring to what he's learned from Nicklaus during visits before and after the Masters collapse. "That was his big thing. He said people lost a lot more majors and gave them to him than he actually won. That's how he felt. It was a good piece of advice to have."

Round 2 is already under way at Congressional. Something tells me that McIlroy won't choke this time. Go Rory! This kid can play! Watch some his Masters highlights here.
