was captured. Who and what is it?
This weekend marks the silver anniversary of Payne Stewart’s second – and final – U.S. Open Championship. Like this year’s edition, it occurred at Pinehurst #2.
And the tournament came down to the wire. Leading by one shot over Phil Mickelson and standing over a par putt at No. 18, Stewart looked at it from all angles and then drained it (see video below) to avoid an 18-hold playoff the next day.
Stewart tragically died October 25, 1999 when the private aircraft he was flying failed to pressurize and all aboard were incapacitated by hypoxia. The plane later crashed in South Dakota once it ran out of fuel.
