1991 U.S Open

Payne Stewart defeats Scott Simpson in a playoff to win his first U.S Open title. Sorry, the sound is a little screwed up starting at 15:52.

[@derrickhenry6217]

Did anyone catch the announcer at 320 saying, "He is below the hole, he is one of few to be below the hole today." Well no shit. He is in a 2 man playoff on a Monday.

Payne Stewart, what a class act. Sorely missed.

[@jakethemuss3]

Didn't realize they were doing the "Get in the hole!" crap as early as 91.

[@OhioRiverFisherman]

Payne Stewart, Beautiful golfer, Beautiful person, beautiful soul!!! Painfully missed. 😢

[@checksandbalance89]

That was at Hazeltine in MN. Great course. I played there in my younger days (had to give up golf back in '08 because of too many orthopedic surgeries; my body-and mind- is screwed up because of a previous profession). I think he still is a golf icon and "cooler than the other side of the pillow" (Stewart Scott quote). I still miss him. No one to catch America's golf attention since Tiger got his vision screwed up by the ex and a 9-iron. We miss ya Payne. Why do bad things happen to great people? (question for God, I guess...)

[@Stimor]

checksandbalance89 ah, so thats the new tiger excuse. well its refreshing from all the "back injuries" at least

[@checksandbalance89]

The back injuries are definitely a problem. Ever have surgery on your back? I just mention that (the eye) b/c right after he came back after the attack, he seemed to have a sort of 'lazy eye'. I don't know what is bothering him the most. Prob the back, but if you look at the pics before and after he was hit you will see. I still respect Tiger. For someone to fall that quickly... sad. It was just my theory. You don't have to hate him.... unless it was your wife he slept with (or daughter).

[@PresidentGas1]

True American that Payne Stewart guy was.

[@VenusDoom891]

Gotta laugh at the spectator shouting "birdie time" on 7:50 when the ball goes in the lake!!

[@johnclark3697]

Be a yank that mate... That's why they can't win Ryder cup. All mouth.

[@ScratchArkkitehti]

boy if that aint an old white voice lol

[@checksandbalance89]

Thanks for the video

[@jameskim3301]

The Greatest since Bobby Jones.

[@andybassham2369]

16th at Hazletine was the bastard hole of the weekend that year. Stewart owned it every round.

[@hankhardigan1104]

Get in the hole. Said no-one with an I.Q. over 90

[@mck974]

+Hank Hardigan yeah that's gettiing...gotten and been old.

[@hankhardigan1104]

***** Which part? The oblivious nature of the bogan fan or the heart rending plea for sanity?

[@jakethemuss3]

+Hank Hardigan Now they are doing it when a player tees off. It's so obnoxious. Some people will say it on literally every shot They should be banned from tournaments.

[@hankhardigan1104]

jakethemuss3 They can't be real fans of the game

[@johnnyb980]

7:50 Birdie Time man is the ultimate cooler

[@PresidentGas1]

With that swing it's a wonder Simpson was even a 10 index.

[@CaribSurfKing1]

Drive for show, putt for dough. That 3 putt was just the end for his brain

[@stephenmalley3415]

Scott ‘the Biscuit’ Simpson. He crumbles under pressure 🤯🤕😢

[@johnclark3697]

Not at OLYMPIC CLUB in 87 he didn't. ..

[@rkid727]

Remember watching this as a 15 year old and could never tell what NFL logo Payne was wearing. Anyone know?

[@kevinmac2298]

Most likely Vikings...I think he generally wore the logo of the regional team where he was playing and this tourney was in Minnesota

[@cygnustsp]

Loved Payne but Simpson was a great golfer

[@johnclark3697]

Payne was a great guy.. But always shake yer playing partners hand 1ST especially in a situation like that

[@mattgajtka]

What? Simpson was way off to the side of the green. I think celebrating with your caddy is perfectly fine.

[@jargonaut8956]

Dear Scott Simpson: I would never let a guy (with a fruity outfit) beat me for the US open...🙄

[@commonsense2156]

imagine if all the golfers were as borings as Scott Simpson

[@Christian-nm2je]

(Spoiler alert)

[@bagpussmacfarlan9008]

One of the prettiest swings ever vs one of the ugliest swings ever (no offence, I'd take it as my swing if it worked like his!)
