RIP Steve DiMeglio

[playthrough]

Longtime Golfweek/USA Today scribe. F*ck cancer. Rough few weeks for the golf beat.

 

[Small Town Guy]

Always enjoyed his writing and coverage. Grew up in Mankato, not far from my hometown. RIP.

 

[Typist Clerk]

Sad news. Terrific guy. With Steve and Jeff Babineau gone, press rooms will be a lot less lively.

 

[Alma]

Terrific reporter.

Terrific obit:

Only met Steve once -- sat near him at the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional -- and he couldn't have been a nicer or more gregarious guy. Liked following his work after that. Was sad to read about this today in Global Golf Post. RIP.
