I was bout 8 years old when i went to the 1999 US open with my dad and grandpa, so i didnt know much about Payne Stewart but soon after I did and to this day Payne Stewart has been my role model for golf and life. I read his book that his wife co wrote and it truly touched my heart. My dad always says that Payne is the definition of a perfect golfer because he wasnt the one always winning for money and majors but winning for the love of the game.

Payne Stewart's character was above reproach; he was one of few positive role models in sports!

Paynes Stewart - a name synonomous with Class and Respect. I miss him so much! I remember sitting at home when word came of his tragic death and I cried my heart out that day. It was if someone had taken the wind out of my sail. The world stood still that day. Payne was one who was destined for greatness beyond measure, not only in golf but in life. We love and miss you so much today....

RIP Payne
