It is a sad day. He will be missed the world over. A true gentleman on and off the course. I know Sergio Garcia will be devastated over this. Seve was his mentor in Sergio's early career.

I loved the guy's style
Drop a water hazard and take a penalty??? Nope
Take your socks off and "Tin Cup" (get ankle deep in the cool water and implode for the final 6 of the masters)....
Sounds like something I would do
The guy was a "class act"...
