Yeah, there is no correlation between "being a good guy" and "being able to hit a golf ball well".  For that matter, there is no correlation between being good at a professional sport (or for that matter, almost anything) and "being a good guy" (or gal).  Tiger Woods is an incredibly talented golf player; he obviously has his own life demons.  Whether this particular accident was connected to that or just going way too fast in a tricky stretch of highway is somewhat of an academic exercise.

looking at the images of the road on google maps, it's not a highway. of roads near stanford, i would compare it to junipero serra by stanford or sand hill road between slac and sharon park, or even page mill road.  85 mph is pretty ambitious for roads like that. i can see 60 in the 45 mph zone if you're in a hurry or have the music cranked up on a sunny day, but 85 (before you accidentally hit the accelerator)? you're asking to kill a bicyclist.
