1999 U.S. Open Winner and Scores
Winner: Payne Stewart, 279
Where it was played: Pinehurst No. 2 in Pinehurst, North Carolina

Notable Notes: Payne Stewart sank a 15-foot par putt on the final hole of the tournament to beat Phil Mickelson by one stroke. Stewart then thrust his fist into the air and kicked out one leg behind him, a famous celebratory pose now memorialized in a statue at Pinehurst. It was Stewart's second U.S. Open title, his third major overall — and his final. He was killed in a plane crash five months later. It was Mickelson's first runner-up finish in a U.S. Open; he eventually set the tournament record for most seconds.
