Book Overview

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."--Golf Digest

Simple, warm tale for golf lovers

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is not really just about a great golf tournament, but about what it means to grow up and become a man. The younger Payne Stewart, so hated in Europe, resembled a nice but spoilt frat boy with a golf club. Of course he wasn't really all like that, but the accusation stuck. Just as most frat boys actually grow into becoming the best fathers and husbands, this book chronicles how Payne grew to become in the late 90s, in his early 40s, the best golfer on the planet, and about the last person to really, really ignore what Tiger Woods was doing on a golf course.

Terrific Read!

Just finished reading Payne at Pinehurst--couldn't put it down.I'm a big golf fan and that U.S. Open ranks as the best I've seen. The detail Chastain goes into was fascinating in describing Payne Stewart's path toward claiming golf's ultimate prize Chastain obviously knows his subject well and has a way with words. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone, and not just golfers.
