In "Payne at Pinehurst", veteran sports writer Bill Chastain crafts the dramatic story of the 1999 U.S. Open by combining extensive research with interviews of those who made it a unique and compelling event. There was nothing simple about Payne Stewart's task. Tiger Woods was the hottest golfer on the Tour, and Stewart's conquest of Pinehurst, while fending off Woods and others in an epic battle where every swing counted, is the stuff golf legends are made of. From the compelling action on the course to the tournament's dramatic conclusion, "Payne at Pinehurst" shows readers why the 1999 U.S. Open is regarded by many as the best U.S. Open ever played.
