This MP3 audio sound quote is from:

Description: Payne Stewart was a professional golfer known for his distinctive style and remarkable achievements on the PGA Tour. Active primarily during the late 1980s through the late 1990s, he won 11 PGA Tour titles, including three major championships: the 1989 PGA Championship, the 1991 U.S. Open, and the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst, where he famously sank a dramatic 15-foot putt to clinch the title. Stewart was also recognized for his unique fashion sense, often sporting knickerbockers and a newsboy cap, which made him a memorable figure in the sport. Tragically, he died in a plane crash on October 25, 1999, but his legacy endures through his contributions to golf and his enduring sportsmanship, highlighted by moments such as his heartfelt interaction with Colin Montgomerie during the 1999 Ryder Cup.
