I was working in a golf shop in Atlanta back in the 90s. Payne and Frank Nobilo came into our shop for an autograph session. Believe it or not, not a lot of people showed up and instead of leaving, Payne stayed and talked to us for an hour. He was truly one of the coolest dudes you'd ever meet.
That's a great story, thanks for sharing. Shows you the class. You'll never forget this as long as you live.
How cool is that!!
Once he had kids I heard he changed a lot and then he was reinvigorated having God in his life
Dude was my favorite golfer when I was in my late teens/early twenties. After he passed, I never really had another favorite golfer. Sure, I liked Tiger, but he wasn’t Payne Stewart. As I’ve gotten older, and started reading up on him, I had no idea how stellar of a dude he was. There’ll never be another like him.
& SEVE😀😀😀
John Clark Seve wasn’t even close to being my dude. Payne was my dude.
@@jerlv9 you have good taste he was a great giving human .His niece loved and adored him .
I was at the US Open on that Friday. We followed him for a bit that day. It was one of the better memories as a kid. ⛳️
Amazing video, wish this guy was still around.
Lost too young
This guy got me into golf....
So devastating watching the coverage of the us open 99 knowing a few months later he was gone.
I remember watching Payne win the '99 US Open. It is probably my favourite golfing moment ever. The second being Payne's concession to Monty at Brooklyn. This man had so much passion and charisma. I never met him , but I miss him. God bless you Payne Stewart.
Hard to focus, through the huge tears that keep welling up in my eyes.
I was a huge Payne Stewart fan and in the late 80's I got to be a standard bearer for his group in the Isuzu Kapalua Open on the Celebrity Pro-Am day. Huey Lewis was the celebrity playing with him and it was amazing to watch the 2 of them play their harmonicas and goof off before teeing off. One of the funnest days ever.
OK, I'm watching this tearing up. First time seeing it since it originally happened so long ago, back when golf was new to me.
This is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen
I usually save my tears for the golf course. Incredible story with an unfortunate early ending.
How are their 5 dislikes? No person in their right mind could watch this video and not give it a thumbs up!
d3extreme IN THEIR RIGHT MIND are the words you should focus on 😆
There are always people out there who hate for the point of hating. Maybe they hate Payne Stewart because he had the misfortune of being a white, hetero male who worked very hard and was a devoted husband and father? Oh, and even worse... a CHRISTIAN! These days those are grounds for immediate hatred among the mainstream media and the liberal elite/intelligentsia/brainless followers of identity-politics dogma. I wish I was being sarcastic, but this is just the world we live in now.
Well said!
He had the best swing ever
As we say in New England, "Smooth like buttah!"
RIP
Payne Stewart
(1957-1999)
A victim onboard a Learjet 35 which crashed in Mina, Edmunds County, near Aberdeen, South Dakota due to crew incapacitation and loss of cabin pressure.
Growing up with Payne and his family at the local club in Springfield was something else. He was a bit of a bully when we were young. He was 2 years older than me.
After he got famous, whenever I tan i to him? He was kind, gracious and acted like we were old friends. Even though we were never close. I miss him. My ex wife, who could care less about golf, cried when he won this as I had introduced them in the St Louis airport and he was really kind to her, ribbing her about marrying me.
,excellent production. More like this please!
This guy had 2-3 more Majors left in him
October 25th 1999. Payne was my favourite golfer. Made the change found God. My birthday. Thanks 🙏
Thank you USGA for this
To make a 25 footer, then one from 7 and one from 15 on the last 3 holes to win a US Open...that's just epic. You could see Mickelson walking when he hit that last putt fully expecting him to miss and I'll guarantee that he was 100% expecting a playoff the next day. Phil looked shocked when he made it. That silky smooth swing and putting stroke. He was incredible.
Phil’s expression never changes, a wry grin knowing full well that an excellent player and friend he’s played with dozens of times is not about to miss a straight uphill putt to win another US open. Not a fan of Phil’s but this take makes no sense
It's 2021 and I still can't get over his tragic death.
I really enjoyed Payne; he had skill & passion...Payne Stewart will be forever missed by family, friends & fans.
RIP Payne, thank you for your life!!
Amen! A great human!
A great tribute to a great player.
Pink Knickers Yellow Socks....backed it up w some of the greatest rounds of golf man has ever witnessed
Payne was a rare athlete who my perception completely changed on, who for years in terms of media exposure I thought he was cheesy, cocky and pompous. Then all of a sudden I thought he was the king of cool and the most grounded star athlete ever. Turns out I later found out he became a devout Christian. The change in him was stark and Im glad that happened.
Paine could be a real pain, before his freind got cancer and introduced him to Jesus....God bless his wonderful friends and family...they have a great legacy in Paine. When I was coaching golf for Monte Vista Chrisitian School in Watsonville, we took a trip to watch the Pebble Beach Pro-Am....two things happened there invovling Paine...I saw his fluid swing...which was magical...and so effortless...and one of my students on the golf team got Paine to sign his cap...Thanks for the memories!
He Had Become My Favorite Player When He Died…What a Waste…..I Miss Him Every Season ❤️
My daughter was born June 30, 1999. I had just worn my dad's work pager to take my NTE (national teachers exam), on the Sat of the Open, should I have to walk out if labor started. As she grew up I told her this story, and about Payne Stewart's words to Phil every Father's Day. This year (2024) we are back at Pinehurst, she's about to turn 25, and on Sat is having her engagement party.
He still to this day is my golf idol! He was such a great human being.
My favorite 90's player
This was the moment in my life that, I Richard decided to quit..it was a turbulent moment that I went on to shoot 56 at 9 yrs old with a 5 iron wedge and putter at a country club in New Mexico. I then went on to prison for 20 of my yrs. Not for child stuff or rape, but robbery of money. All and all I never expected that this was the moment. I am free now live and love God. My fellow man. God bless.
That beautiful Australian woman ❤️🙏
How did they not show John Daly’s meltdown on the 8th hole !!!!!!!! That was hilarious
Payne was a worthy champion but more over a champion guy.
Note to PGA broadcasters: kill the soppy music.
This is so sad what happened to Payne Stewart and the others on the learjet. May they all rest in peace.
I'd also like to say that this video is an unbelievable show of dedication from his Father. LOOK AT THOSE NOTES!!!! Sure, he was a tough ass, but isn't every father? I think that's just..so cool.
I'm in bits right now. 😥
I've always missed him as a golfer a character. Such a great loss so early..
I could not believe the news on oct 25th 1999 ,It made me very sad!
Payne Stewart was an amazing guy. I got to know his niece and he bought a house in Helensvale for her family and his wife's parents. I remember the day he died and i watched the plane in flight with his niece. It was a dreadful time for his family . She spent time looking after his kids in Florida . He took her golfing with Jordan and Clinton . A very special man with a great family .
That putt on 16 will go down as the greatest in US Open history ....
God bless his memory and he is surely so proud of his beautiful wife and children all grown up . Truly a beautiful family .
And Tiger was a cry baby who refused to talk to the media just because he lost
I tell ya... If this doesn't want to make you become a better man or to pursue your dreams, then I don't know what else to say. This inspires me beyond. I'm so sorry for your loss, Stewart family. From the bottom of my heart. I'm a dad of two little girls and a beautiful wife. Man, I'm choked up!
Payne Stewart.. THE SPIRITO OF GOLF.. ⛳🏌🙏
Beautiful...
Somebody stop cutting the onions in here.
I like his caddy Mike Hicks
Without question the best Us open of all time
Putting Wins Again
thank you for this...simply amazing.
Man, when they played those bagpipes on his memorial service i lost it i was only in my teens and it moved me big time.
Payne woulda won many more majors.
I dressed like payne throughout high school golf in 05-09. Average player, but man I had a great time. Shot 71, -1 on my last 18 holes as a hs kid in wool knickers and a matching wool hat lol.
I always tuned in to see what he was wearing.
I wish he was still around
we all miss Payne . RIP
Obviously, I've never played Pinehurst #2 in real life, but I WOULDN'T WANT TO! I've tried to play this course in video games and it just might be easier in person! Worst greens in golf history!
He had a reputation as a practical joker who loved fun times but did anyone notice the deadly serious attitude he had on the course during this tournament? The man was on a mission. This tournament meant something. And he seemed like a man in his prime playing against players who were really good but not quite where he was yet. This was a well told story.
I was at the 2014 US Open at Pinehurst, and I remember someone saying the greens were like "putting off the hood of your car"
yk... The picture when Payne skunked that 15 footer that image id just due to your whole lifes work... such a awesome story
Wonderfully done.
Excellent video. He was a sparkplug and a one of a kind.
Brings back great memories to see one great golfer win the American open he was so proud and patriotic to his country still sadly missed his plus fours and caps will forever be in golf folklore and his 2 amazing open wins
He was such a character... He is missed dearly amung todays boring (except for Tiger) pga tour golfters...
Today’s players aren’t boring.
You’re just stuck in the past, with no interest in the modern world.
@@MrAJR76 Name one interesting player?
Remember following him at the 99 open at carnoustie had a beautiful effortless swing. always thot he was a bit weird until i saw this .. great character ❤
Seemed like a great man
The uptight taurus connoly guess because parade reassuringly help under a knowing handball. seemly, military beer
I never knew he cut his sleeves off his rain jacket. I've always thought it was just a rain vest lol. What an absolute legend who was taken far to early from this world.
These kids are lucky to have a Mom like that……wow , out of all the sadness Mom steps up and does an incredible job
Damm I miss Payne!
Payne Stewart was one of a kind unique champion 🏆 US open golfer the smoothest swing in golf
Arnie said, "If you're going to bitch, go sit on the sofa and drink a beer". I agree, I'd be more than happy to take his spot.
This is really sad. Rest easy Payne
Never heard about Payne . Im not a fan of golf but Wow .This makes me cry . Might his soul rest in peace
Crying....
There's this great sauce.
Losing Payne is still sad. He had that marvelous swing. The golf world lost a giant. His family lost a giant.
Miss you Payne!!!
Best look on tour (16:04).
25 years on.. what a legend of the game, rest in peace Payne.
I miss his flair sooooo much. RIP 🙏
What a talent
Payne Stewart's a legend.
😭😭 que documentário emocionante! por isso o golf nos USA é tão Bom... parabéns show amei!
"Great players think about what they want to have happen, not what they're afraid might happen." - Paul Azinger 38:16
Is that not Paul Azinger?
Still my favourite US Open to this day. Payne's swing is in my top 5 of all-time favourite golf swings (#3). He is greatly missed, heaven had a very special place for Payne. RIP
One of the greatest moments in the history of golf.
I've always loved Payne and I always adored his style, in all aspects, but after watching this, I adore him even more. Great Player, Great Champion, Great Man!!!
Mental side of the game? JD you hear that?
My dad knew Payne, and I remember vividly my mom telling me after school in the first grade what had happened. He would’ve seen my dad the day or two after the crash. He’s a hero of mine, and I wish I could’ve gotten to know him.
I was going out with a wonderful lady at the time I was 29 but her Austrian family thought golf was an elitist sport and didn’t want to watch but I insisted on watching it outside of Boston at their home I was routing for Phill but was so respectful of Mr Stewart and was happy for him……I was truly sad when he passed as he was truly a great person…RIP good sir
How great was he, unbelievable great.
It was so great...an incredible person, father, friend, player!!

33:39 Goddamn I miss watching Cat
So sad he finally made it and he died so young.
the payne stewart worshipping got a little out of hand because of his early demise. I can remember quotes from some of the golf/golf digest writers (Dan Jenkins? not sure) about Payne like his being young for his age and when he had a flag-like color scheme for his shirt and knickers the writer referred to him as "Bozo the American flag".
Nice but the subtitles need to be edited.....
Man.. WOW. What a powerful story. Glad I chose to watch this video. Cherish the ones you love.
can't believe Stewart won that one open with a 75, yipes. how awful - lucked out. geez.
the dancefloor tells no lies
