Stirring memories of Payne
I just read your story about Payne Stewart (“Divot: A legacy celebrated,” Oct. 13, GGP). It warmed my heart.
I was at the Ryder Cup in 1999 the whole week. I’ll never forget his concession to Monty on 18, the most sportsmanlike gesture I’ve ever witnessed. He was always special and it was always obvious to me. However, I never stopped to consider what impact he would’ve had in his later years on the great Ryder Cup, which I love so much.
I had the pleasure of playing Pinehurst No. 2 in November 2000 in the group behind Mike Hicks, Payne’s looper. Hicks sat on the porch in the rocking chairs with us after the round and regaled us with stories about Payne for the better part of two hours.
It was unforgettable. All the memories flooded back as I read your story.
