This Day in Golf History: January 30

Today marks what would have been Payne Stewart's 67th birthday. The three-time major champion, whose life was cut short when his private jet malfunctioned in flight and crashed on October 25, 1999, is a member of the World Golf, Missouri Sports, and PGA of America halls of fame. Another World Golf Hall of Fame member born on this date was Curtis Strange in 1955 in Norfolk, Virginia. He won back-to-back U.S. Open titles.
