The Irrelevant Matchup

Hello. For many, the real PGA golf season starts today, as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are making their 2008 debuts. While I am interested, this matchup has now become irrelevant to me.
Why? Because last night I found out Steve Duplantis Jr, a PGA Tour caddie, was killed by a taxi in San Diego. He was 35. He leaves behind a daughter, who must be around 10.
I've known Steve Duplantis Sr for 11 years. I just left him a voicemail offering my sympathies. Can there be a worse experience than losing a child?
I got to meet Steve Jr a couple of times. While many people (including me) could never keep up to him as he "burned the candle at both ends", he was a guy you couldn't help liking.
Compared to this, the anticipated Tiger/Phil showdown is irrelevant.

Regards,
Irrelevant
