1999 US Open Pinehurst No. 2 Starbus Windjacket XL

Here lies a deluxe embroidered windjacket with an oversize Putter Boy scene in full color across the back of this new with tags green and blue wardrobe must hailing from the United States' home of golf. The Fathers Day final round duel of Phil Mickelson and Payne Stewart featured one of the most memorable closes to a U.S. Open in the USGA championship's history. Stewart capped off the 1999 Open Championship out with a 15 foot par putt that dropped on the 18th hole to give him a win over Mickelson by the narrowest of margins. Payne then embraced Phil, who was in search of his first major and more importantly the birth of his first child the next day. Payne consoled Lefty after the tough loss and raised his spirits with the famous line "you are going to make a great father." This was as good as you can could get in the close to a Father's Day U.S. Open. The win marked Stewart's second U.S. Open triumph (1991) and third Major victory (1989 PGA). The Open win at Pinehurst#2 in '99 also verified in the media and fan's minds alike that Stewart's career was Hall of Fame worthy.
