Arnold Palmer died today. I don't know much about pro-golf, but he seemed like a class act to me.

Palmer was considered one of the best golfers of all time. Over his decades-long career, Palmer recorded 62 PGA tour victories and a treasure trove of major tournaments wins, including the U.S. Open, British Open and the Masters, which he won four times. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974.
Palmer was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004, and in 2012 was recognized with a Congressional Gold Medal for his work on and off the golf course.
His prowess and athleticism made him golf’s first true star, and he helped usher the sport into the mainstream.
I don't think Arnold Palmer's death today in Pittsburgh was completely unexpected; he'd been undergoing heart monitoring since Thursday. Arnold Palmer was 87. RIP.
