One of the Greatest...

Payne Stewart.

Winner of the 99th United States Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

Died October 29, 1999.

One of the most charismatic players on the tour typically seen wearing knickerbockers and tam o'shanter caps. One of my favorite players to watch and certainly after he won the US Open in 1999. Recently I was lucky enough to visit the statue in memory of him just off the 18th green at Pinehurst No. 2. I did not play No. 2 (I played No. 8) but to be in that presence of where something so spectacular happened left me speechless.

  1. Rachel,
    What is up? I haven't heard much from you lately. I hope school and golf are going well. That is sweet you got to go to Pinehurst to play and see this statue. I am hoping to have a beer with THE Mick tomorrow. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
