AUGUSTA, Ga. (Reuters) - Two weeks after wading into turbulent political waters by publicly supporting President Donald Trump in the U.S. election and warning the country against turning “socialist”, Jack Nicklaus clubbed away a question about the matter on Thursday.The 80-year-old Nicklaus, the most prolific major winner of all-time with 18 titles in the four biggest championships, had earlier hit the ceremonial first tee shot with fellow great Gary Player at the Masters at Augusta National. At a later news conference, it did not take long for a reporter to raise the issue of Nicklaus’ support for Trump. Most major news organizations have declared Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden the winner of the election, but Trump has yet to concede. The President has instead brought a flurry of lawsuits in close-run states to try to back his unsupported claims of widespread electoral fraud.
