He definitely was great. His tournament was right down the street from me when I lived in Los Colinas.

The last of the old generation greats. I'm sure you will
be looking for Bobby and the boys in the next dimension.

You are admired, your streak of wins in one season will
take a "catch me if you can" Woods to equal or beat.

Thanks for your contribution.

Brian

Lived long and well. Great memories to watch for years to come.

It'll be a very very long time before names like Tiger Woods can eclipse ones like Byron Nelson.
