built 354 days ago
When his life came to a sudden and tragic end on October 25, 1999, Payne Stewart was at the top of his game on every level. In June of 1999, he enjoyed the signature triumph of his career and solidified himself as one of the exemplary personalities in his profession with a victory at the U.S. Open and a place on the coveted winning U.S. Ryder Cup team. However satisfying his professional accomplishments were, it was his personal triumphs that made him stand out. Those closest to Stewart said his family and faith were what mattered most to him. At his funeral, his wife Tracey described him as a devoted husband and father and a devout Christian. She said, "After 18 years of marriage, he was still the most beautiful man I had ever seen, because of what he was on the inside."

Payne Stewart began playing golf at age four, learning from his father, William, a former Missouri State Amateur champion who qualified for the 1955 U.S. Open at the Olympic Club. Bill recognized his son's natural talent and coached and encouraged his son more than anyone else. He ... taught him an appreciation for the game's etiquette and traditions. To Bill's delight, Payne's love of the game soon rivaled that of his father. Stewart played collegiately at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where he was co-champion of the Southwest Conference in 1979. After earning his degree the Missouri native turned professional later that year but failed to earn a PGA TOUR card at Qualifying School.

The Moon(planet of instincts and emotions) and the Sun(will and identity) were both in highly intelligent Aquarius when Payne Stewart was born. He was known for his great wit and cutting humor, but until recently had a reputation for being a rather ungracious loser. Then, about two years ago, revolutionary Uranuspassed over his Sun and a great transformation occurred in his life. Payne Stewart changed his habitual behavior and learned to lose (and win) with dignity.
