@torunn saidIn addition:
Göran Zachrisson, a Swedish golf and sports journalist and television commentator from Stockholm has died at the age of 83. Zachrisson was known for his golfing skills and his distinct style of reporting.
Even those who didn't understand the game of golf appreciated listening to Göran, he made it so interesting.
"Sad to hear that one of Sweden’s most decorated sport journalists have passed. Göran Zachrisson was a trailblazer in golf commentary. His passion & knowledge brought many to the game. Thanks for all the years of entertainment! #RIP #media
