"It was the ultimate tribute to a legend."

A nice Memorial driving range scene captured by Jim McCabe Tuesday:

Rarely do golfers at this level tear themselves away from their own little worlds to pay attention to peripheral matters, but Seve Ballesteros ranks an exception to the rule. The man remains magical, even more to colleagues who appreciate the wizardry he possessed. This year’s Memorial Tournament honoree, Ballesteros is still engaged in a fight against cancer, so he did not attend. But when he was seen via a large JumboTron speaking from his home in Spain, it was duly noted how the players on the range stopped what they were doing and listened. It was the ultimate tribute to a legend.
