The cross-section of storylines from this Open is insane. We had no idea that this would be one of the last times we'd see Payne. We didn't know this would start Phil's run of almost winning the Open. And we definitely had no idea what a dominant run of golf Tiger would begin in two months. So it's not just that the tournament itself was great, which it was. It's the unique place the tournament holds in the chronological history of golf.

Remember this like it was yesterday...was a HUGE Payne Stewart and Freddy Couples fan growing up....I was just about to turn 19 years old when this happened back in the summer of 1999....will never forget this. RIP Payne.
-
“You’re going to make a great father.” Mr. Stewart just won the biggest golf tournament against three of the best yet still put it aside to tell Phil those words. What an amazing man
-
My favorite part of this is Payne telling Phil that he’s going to be a great father. it’s beautiful how much family meant to him.
-
I nearly teared up when Payne said my chances might be on the short list...so haunting. RIP Payne
-
Stewart lost the open the year before. Made a clutch putt here to redeem himself. Participated in that magical Ryder Cup, then perished a month later. Crazy series of events. Really loved the fire he brought to the game. He has been missed.
-
Held of the 3 best players of that generation Singh, Mickelson and Woods. Cant think of a more impressive open win
-
Just finished binge watching the Masters for three days...the putt on 18 here was the most thrilling thing I have seen in a long time.I miss Payne Stewart.
-
Still love watching this so many years later. Ayrton, Dale Sr., Greg Moore, Diana, Mother T. and Payne among others. It was a tough few years but great, great memories. RIP.
-
It never gets old watching this epic U.S. Open Championship! What a clutch putt by William Payne on 18!
-
Hell yeah USGA . Great job keeping us busy during these tough times
-
Loved this one. Johnny Miller nailing the prediction about Tiger waxing the field and he did it the next year by 15.
-
As many times as Phil has come agonizingly close to winning this great tournament, given the opportunity, I don't think even he would change the outcome. We're all so glad that Payne got to taste this victory. Rest in peace.
-
I remember watching this and thinking to myself "man this is one tough course". Still after all these years I still recall how crazy those putting greens and slopes were.
-
USGA, need more of these please! This is what is getting me through the lockdown, Masters, Open and now U.S. Open.
-
It's been 21 years....Still love ya Payne. RIP Champion.
-
By far my favorite U.S. OPEN of all time
-
Payne Stewart at age 42 out dueling Tiger and Phil in their primes. Unbelievable performance by Payne especially with the putter down the stretch. Payne saying my opportunities might be on a short list is just heartbreaking, I miss him
-
Payne Stewart was such a class act and a great pressure player. It knocked me back when his plane crashed.
-
Remember when baggy shirts (where the sleeves came down to the elbow) were the norm on the tour in the late 90's and early 2000's?
