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 Oct. 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 was born on this date. In 1955 Curtis Strange was born in Norfolk, Virginia, and would win back-to-back U.S. Open titles in 1988 and 1989. He also won the 1974 NCAA individual title.
