Tuesday night was the Payne Stewart award ceremony. The ballroom looked great, and they even had "live statues" on display. It was funny to see peoples' reaction when they realized the bronze guys were alive!
Davis Love III was the 2008 recipient. A class guy all-around and deserving of the honor.

Anthony Kim tones down his belt buckle from the red, white & blue number he wore at the Ryder Cup.
Camilo Villegas obliges me with a great "spiderman pose" with a clean background. It was good karma, he went on to win the tournament.
