Yeah, that was a real shame. I liked him, thought he was a top bloke.

Those trousers he used to wear!!! I think Ian Poultiar has taken up his baton - he was dressed all in salmon pink today!!

Poulter isn't quite as stylish as Payne, I think. Probably because Payne was the original. He had a taste for extravagant hatwear as well as the trousers.

The original is almost always the best!!

I am impressed by Poulter, though - I think he has a couple of Major's in him, probably in America though.

Which reminds me: Golf is played all over the world, right? So how comes three of the four Majors are still played in America....shouldn't they give one of them to the Aussies or somewhere else?

Originally, probably to do with the sport and who played it. Now, probably to do with money and marketing.

I always remember Payne Stewart winning the US Open a few months before he died,he won an epic battle with Mickelson and hugged him afterwards and said "Don't be upset your going to be a father" That moment summed up Payne Stewart.Trying to cheer up somebody even though he should have been celebrating.
