I can't think of a contemporary figure that would fit his categorization.

It would seem to be a giant figure and I would have to agree with Sean as I don't feel that Pete was referencing any "Golden Age" architects.

P.S.  When did you cease returning phone calls ? ;D

MY guess is also Jones, Sr. He was remarkably fond of Jones when I interviewed him.

I'll go outside the box and guess Jack Nicklaus, circa when they were working together early in their architecture careers.

I had a conversation a few years ago with Mr. Dye at the Kampen course at Purdue and he mentioned Seth Raynor a number of times as a source of inspiration especially Camargo.

So, I'll say Seth Raynor.

Actually, it doesn't even sound like something PD would say -- too earnest and over-arching. It sounds like something someone would write on his behalf, after culling it from praise that PD had offered more casually...about someone older (and no longer a competitor).  My guess:

Geoffrey Cornish

I agree. I thought someone had said this about PD. If not, they probably should have!

For some reason I think Nicklaus as well.
