In an interview yesterday he said he was looking forward to playing Pinehurst again. Apparently it's one of his favorite courses - a statement which might cause his opponents to worry a little!

A great man - Payne Stewart.

Who can forget his wonderfully colored outfits he used to wear. They brightened up every event he took part in.

And what a bizarre way to die!

He will always be remembered.
