Only 54, sad. In the Spanish tradition, he could hit a wild drive, then hit an amazing recovery shot. Worked for him.

Very sad. There are worse ways to go, but not many.

One of the good guys, I didn’t seem to mind losing the Ryder Cup, so much when he was Captain, instead of Mrs. Doubtfire.

And then sink the 25 footer for birdie. Like Arnold Palmer did and Phil Mickelson does. That's why they're so popular with the fans. Great styles to watch. And Seve combined that with wearing his emotions on his sleeve. Made golf as exciting as it gets.

Seve was the mentor for Olazabal and Sergio. He was a good golfer, but a poor sport.

I seem to recall a match play session in the Ryder Cup where Seve was playing against Tom Lehman. Lehman’s ball was about 15 inches from the cup and everyone expected Seve to give it to him. Lehman bent down to pick up his ball, fully expecting Seve to say it was good. ...Silence from Seve. The look on Lehman’s face and in his eyes was almost pure hatred as he stared at Seve. Lehman made the putt, but that action really angered the American team.

Seve was the best for getting (in and) out of trouble. He had some of the most creative shot making abilities.

I remember growing up, learning the game... and when ever I was in trouble I’d try to do a “Seve” - punching out from behind a tree, etc.

May he rest in peace.
