This week, the tournament world lost a dear friend. Phil Bach, of Creed, Colorado, was well-known by many players, and loved by all who he encountered. Phil had a kind word for everyone he met, and his charm was unparalleled. I had the distinct pleasure of dining with him on many occasions, and his enthusiasm for life was a real inspiration.
On Tuesday July 24th, he passed away after a lengthy illness. His wry smile and the bright twinkle in his eye will live long in my memory, but his presence will be sorely missed.
