Late? Nope, "CPT", or have you not read that thread?
edit: on second thought it seems like he cared about keeping people waiting.

I wonder if his ex Elin needs to be consoled about this and if so, anyone know how to reach her? Asking for a friend.

I'm betting she had 'that 9-iron' "bronzed"....
what a sad progression for a man that had 'the world from the tips'...
apparently, it's his right leg put back together with pins and screws....his golfing days are over....anyone that's ever played the game at a high level, understands power off the tee is created via torque + tension on the inner right thigh....it’s why most flip the club back and cross the plane of attack...
yeah, I know 'some' thingys...I miss that game....

Reading this morning, the speed that people who live in the area called for help, makes me think this type of accident is somewhat common in that area.

Looks like he picked the wrong rig to end it all. No way that wasn't on purpose. Never hit the brakes. Same thing happened to a couple that owned a pharmacy down here in which the dude's partners got sentenced last week. Haulin ass on a curved road and straight into a tree in a Porche convertible.

Could be. Could have also passed out at the wheel. Either way it isn't any of our business.

We had a friend and neighbor, father of three including a 2YO daughter, lawyer got in deep with the blow. Same thing on Rte 64., only it wasn't a convertible.
wonder if this is the stretch known as "Dead Mans curve" of Jan and Dean fame? (I think that's right, not looking).
Course the "party line" is he was running late and trying to hurry to the course to give some lessons to celeb's, including Drew Brees and some others. Who knows?

Hard to pass out going 85 in a 45. Especially a 45 as curvy as that road.

It was downhill. Could have been doing the speed limit or speeding slightly and depending on how steep and how long it would be possible to pass out and hit 85 before he went off the road. One thing clear is it was medical and not criminal, which is why the public isn't getting details. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a suicide attempt. Just not as quick to rule out something else other than alcohol or drugs, which would be criminal.

never thought about that....it’s plausible, but I seriously doubt it...
not only is he hyper-alpha, but his grooming + success to overcome failure is beyond dominant...

I'm going with antidepressant + opiod...check out his interview at the tourney right before he left the premises....
he looked close to his mug shot....
he also may have simply been too fk'n tired and fell asleep at the wheel...
I hate what has happened to him...
ONE OF THE GREATEST AT HIS PROFFESSION
sometimes, being too good/smart is the curse that bites and never let's go....
