This ended in 1995 at the PGA championship practice round at Sahalee Golf Country Club in Seattle WA. I had my 4 year old grandson with me who was fortunate enough to get many of the top players autographs on his golf hat after they finished, however Colin decided to not only reject to sign but actually totally ignored us. We were talking with Colins manager, a lady from as I remember Edinburgh outside the clubhouse as Colin finished 18, he actually approached us to talk to her, she mentioned to Colin that I was an ex-pat from Scotland. He acknowledged me with a "hi" but when grandson offered his cap and pen for his autograph, Colin totally ignored him and promptly strode off in his granduer march. Now remember this was a 4 year old kid at a practice round. That did it for me and Colin! As a side note Tom Lehman not only signed but put my granson on his shoulder and carried him for a few paces telling him he had a son at home just like him. What a difference. Incidentally Colin has just finished his first round at Oakmont with a 76 (+6) so I don't think he will be adding a U.S. Open title this year.
