Golf fans, do you recall the heartbreak after Payne Stewart’s epic 1999 U.S. Open win? The man in the iconic knickers outdueled Lefty by a single stroke, becoming the only player under par that week at Pinehurst. But just months later, tragedy struck when Stewart’s private jet crashed, ending a legendary career far too soon. As Oakmont gears up for another grueling Open, Stewart’s legacy and that somber day still echo in the golf world. #PayneStewart #USOpen #GolfHistory #Sports #Golf
