About this book
Payne at Pinehurst presents a fascinating re-telling of the 1999 U.S. Open--considered by many golf experts as the greatest U.S. Open ever played--where Payne Stewart dramatically sunk a fifteen-foot putt on the 18th hole to defeat Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, and a host of other golf greats just four months before his untimely death in a bizarre plane crash.
It has been called the greatest U.S. Open in the Open's over one hundred-year history.
Veteran sports journalist, Bill Chastain, crafts the dramatic story of Payne Stewart's 1999 U.S. Open victory by combining extensive research with interviews of those who made it unique.
Payne at Pinehurst shows how Stewart dealt with his stunning U.S. Open defeat in 1998 and planned victory for the championship that meant so much to him.
Stewart's conquest of Pinehurst No. 2, while fending off Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, David Duval, and Vijay Singh in an epic battle where every swing held significance, is the stuff of which golf legends are made. From compelling action by the best golfers in the world to the tournament's dramatic conclusion,
Payne at Pinehurst shows readers why the 1999 U.S. Open is regarded as the best U.S. Open ever played.
"A fresh and concise look at Payne Stewart's victory at the 1999 U.S. Open."--
