I would put him up there as one of the greatest sports commentators of all time.

There was a piece on him at the weekend which said something like “he perfectly captured the tension and excitement like no other could”

Then it showed a little ball roll along the grass and fall down a hole with him saying “what a lovely shot that is” in a rather low monotone voice

He hadn't retired Phenom. Was due to retire after next year's Open.

Thought he suddenly sounded a lot older at the Masters recently.

As others have said, one of the greats.
