That damn divot. Whole tournament was gone from there. Hated his clubs and hated the ball he was playing. Redeemed himself at Pinehurst though. RIP legend. 😢
Payne was so classy in defeat. That interview he gave Maltbie has stuck with me for 25 years. This whole round was a slow-drip demise, which is the way it always seems to go for the leader at Olympic.
