[SOUNDBITE] (English) TIGER WOODS SAYING "I have some pretty good memories of Payne. We started to get to know each other pretty well over the last year and a half. And, it was kind of funny, we were in Ireland and out fishing and he was getting frustrated and talking a lot of trash. As you all know he liked to do. It was fun getting to know him and the things he liked. He loved singing in the bars ther in Ireland when we were together. And, there are some things about Payne that will be sorely missed."

I mean, there's no doubt any of the players are not thinking of him this wee and it's sad but everyone had fond memories of him as well." 22. [SOUNDBITE] (English) LEE JANZEN SAYING "I've been thinking about him a lot. This is his favourite place to play and he would really enjoy being here. He really enjoys the attention when he deserves it. I think he would really enjoy being here and we would all enjoy to have him here."
