Payne Stewart was known for his classic 'golfer's' dress. Less well known was his respect for the history of the game and its traditions.

At the suggestion of his father, he registered into each United States Open Championship by signing his full name:

William Payne Stewart.

Asked why, he replied simply:

"It is our national championship."
