An American Hero At St Andrews | Payne Stewart 1990 | Best Of

Payne Stewart was a formidable competitor at The Open during the 1980s - securing four top-ten finishes across seven Open Championships, including a second-place finish in 1985.

In 1990, St Andrews played host to The 119th Open and Stewart continued his impressive run of form.

In his first three rounds the American shot a hattrick of 68s placing him in tied second going into the final round. Unfortunately for the man adorned in the colours of the American flag, he was unable to catch the eventual winner, Sir Nick Faldo. However, he did secure his second runners-up finish at The Open Championship.

Let's go back to the 1990s and relive the greatness that was Payne Stewart.
