Golf mourns Stewart’s death
By Doug Ferguson
The Associated Press
Beneath the knickers and tam
o’shanter cap that made Payne
Stewart one of the most recogniz
able players in golf was a game
and a passion that made him one
of the most respected champions.
He embodied the spirit of the
Ryder Cup, playing on three win
ning teams, yet displayed sports
manship in the midst of a contro
versial celebration. His 18
victories around the world includ
ed three major championships,
such as his dramatic comeback on
the final three holes to win the
U.S. Open in June.
Stewart was among five people
killed Monday when a Learjet he
was aboard flew uncontrolled for
hours and crashed in South Dakota.
Arnold Palmer called Stewart’s
death “one of the most terrible
tragedies of modern-day golf.”
Stewart was on his way to
Texas, where the Tour Champi
onship in Houston awaited the top
30 on the PGA Tour’s money list.
The tour said his spot in the
field will not be replaced. A blue
ribbon was attached to his name
plate in the parking lot.
“It is difficult to express our
sense of shock and sadness over
the death of Payne Stewart,” PGA
Tour commissioner Tim Finchem
said. “This is a tremendous loss
for the entire golfing community
and all of sports.”
Also killed in the crash were
Stewart’s agents Robert Fraley and
Van Ardan and two pilots, said
Bill Curry, a spokesman for Stew
art’s family. Fraley was CEO of
Leader Enterprises Inc. and Ardan
was president of the sports man
agement company.
“A true sportsman on the course
and a gentleman off it,” said Mas
ters champion Jose Maria Olazabal,
choking back tears. “We have lost a
precious man and someone who
still had good years ahead of him.”
Curtis Strange was leaving a
news conference in Palm Beach
Gardens, Fla., where he was
named Ryder Cup captain for
2001, when he saw the first televi
sion reports.
“We have lost someone who is
truly a great ambassador for the
game,” Strange said.
Stewart often played practice
rounds in regular pants and a hat,
and not many people recognized
him. Once the tournament started,
however, his presence was unmis
takable in traditional golfing garb
that no one else considered wear
ing
“Not everyone can get away
with that,” Strange said. “He had a
personality to do that.”
He had game, too.
Stewart’s finest moment in a 20
year professional career came on
Father’s Day at Pinehurst No. 2,
the famed course in North Caroli
na that became a stage for remark
able drama in the final round.
A year after Stewart lost a four
stroke lead in the final round of the
U.S. Open at The Olympic Club,
he trailed Phil Mickelson by one
stroke with three holes to play,
then one-putted the final three
greens for a stunning victory.
His 15-foot par putt on the last
hole was the longest ever to decide
the Open in its 105-year history.
Stewart thrust his fist in the air, an
unforgettable image, let out a roar
and later broke down in tears.
“He was a great credit to golf
and to our country,” said former
Masters and U.S. Open champion
Billy Casper. “Golf lost a great
man.”
Men’s polo out of the water
■ The mens water polo
team finishes fourth during
a weekend tourney
By Nick Haselwander and Inge
McMiilen
lor the Emerald
It may only be Oct. 26, but at
least one Oregon team has
wrapped up its season — for a
couple ofweeks, anyway.
The Oregon Club Sports men’s
water polo team waded through a
six-team, season-ending tourna
ment during the weekend, finishing
in fourth place after losing to Wash
ington State for the second time in a
row in the third-place game.
“We just have a very young
team,” said senior Ben Gottlieb,
the Ducks’ coach, coordinator and
captain. “Right now, we don’t
have the amount of experience
that you need at this level.
“The younger players are a lit
tle intimidated because they don’t
have the drive and the heart, but
that will come from experience. I
know that we will be a much bet
ter team by the next tournament. ”
Gottlieb was pleased with per
formances by Duck freshmen,
Alex Steely and Anthony Tran.
Along with
Gottlieb’s strong
offensive perfor
mance, the team
got a big boost
from junior Dave
Nelson as well.
Oregon takes a break now, but it
will hit the water again soon in
home-and-home matches with
Oregon State. Times and dates are
yet to be determined.
After those matches, the Ducks
head up to Federal Way, Wash.,
for a 16-team tournament on Nov.
20-22 that will include teams any
where from Edmonton to Central
California.
Ski team anticipating arrival of
winter
Members of the Oregon Club
Sports alpine ski team are aiming
to race in the USSA national
championships for slalom and gi
ant slalom skiing this spring.
The team is counting on champi
onship-caliber performances from
strong returners and four new skiers,
co-coordinator Chuck Leavitt said.
“Some members are really ex
perienced racers — people who
have raced all their lives and
could have gotten scholarships to
ski,” Leavitt said. “Then we also
have new people who have never
raced before.”
Skiing is demanding in that it
requires strength, coordination
and agility, Leavitt said.
“More, it takes a drive and
courage,” co-coordinator Mark
Lorencz said. “You may be hit
ting speeds of 30-40 miles per
hour with gates flying at you.”
There are also the elements.
“You don’t get to ski in Palm
Beach, Florida,” Lorencz said.
“There’s negative 10 degrees or
rain, sleet and winds straight up
the hill, smack in your face.”
Practices in the snow begin dur
ing winter break at Willamette Pass.
