Rest in peace, Seve.
EVERYONE loved Seve. It's not like that with many golfers. Choi, other than a few dumbass rednecks who think, "ay, what's dis chink doin' in ower spowert", is the same way.
Actually, there's a funny story about that. K.J. goes to church here on Sunday during the Masters. He spoke at Warren Road Baptist about his finding Christ back in '04 when he Eagled a hole from the middle of the fairway and the crowd fell in love with him, not due to his conversion, but he's just a likeable guy. During the Masters, some "out-a-towners" made a similar remark up above and pretty much got blessed out by a lot of the locals who were lifelong badge-owners.
