Twenty-Five Years Ago, Payne Stewart Delivered Pinehurst's Signature U.S. Open Moment
Posted Jun 12, 2024
It is an enduring sequence of images emanating from the 18th green at Pinehurst No. 2. Donald Ross’s gem more than delivered in its first-ever U.S. Open, and there was golf’s flamboyant figure, Payne Stewart, holing a clutch par putt, celebrating with an outstretched arm and leg, a portrait etched in time. Stewart quickly extended his condolences to Phil Mickelson.
