Very good player. Always seemed like he was having fun, back in the day when there were "characters" who played pro golf. RIP

Fun fact: I once used a Frank Gehry design as inspiration for a school project. Got to speak with him. He actually wanted to see my final design. I sent it to him. He complimented it and said I could come work for him when I finished school. Would have been great but had no desire to live in California.
