Payne Stewart was in the prime of his career. He had just won the U.S. Open, and had captained the Ryder Cup team to an unfortunate last hole loss at the "Battle at Brookline".
He had won two major championships, and a total of 23 titles on the PGA and European Tour combined. Stewart was beloved by both players and fans alike.However, on Oct. 25, 1999, Stewart died in a plane crash near Aberdeen, South Dakota. Stewart still lives on in the hearts of all golfers, fans and players alike.
This tragedy stripped the game of golf of one of its heroes, and one of the truly good people on the PGA tour. Stewart was 42-years-old.
