I'm only a casual golf fan, but that guy had something, his enthusiasm and a magic glint in his eye.

True legend of the game and made golf in Europe what it is today.

Nice genuine guy in contrast to so many pro-sportsmen these days.

Must be my age but in n the last few weeks too many nice likeable people in the public have died relatively young, Elizabeth Sladen, Prof Richard Holmes, Seb all excellent role models for the young.
