I Remember Payne Stewart

On October 25, 1999, Payne Stewart's remarkable life and brilliant golf career ended when he died tragically with five others in a mysterious plane crash in remote South Dakota. In almost twenty years as a golf pro, Stewart had won more than $11 million and had dazzled the golf world with his numerous tournament triumphs, including two U.S. Open victories and a PGA Championship. His silky golf swing and familiar natty attire of knickers and tam-o'-shanter were trademarks of his colorful persona on the course. Stewart had been enjoying possibly the greatest year of his golf career when he was killed.
