Payne Stewart Signed 1999 Ryder Cup at The Country Club Embroidered Pinney Flag
This offering is for a Payne Stewart Signed 1999 Ryder Cup at The Country Club Embroidered Pinney Flag. Most know the tragic story. This ended up being the last public on course appearance by Payne Stewart who would pass away in the fateful plane crash less than a month later. It was war for the Americans at Brookline CC in 1999, the 'Battle of Brookline'. While staging the largest comeback in Ryder Cup history, the Americans recaptured the cup when Justin Leonard halved his match with José María Olazábal. A moment that will undoubtedly be remembered forever, with an incredibly sad ending. Payne Stewart signed this embroidered Pinney flag in black sharpie.Thinking back to autographing that summer of '99, yes, people wanted to get Payne's autograph on U.S. Open items, but the real push was assembling items with the upcoming U.S. Ryder Cup team on them. That is where many of the Stewart signatures went to in this time period. Their are two things for sure here. First, we sure miss Payne with his exuberant style of play and this signed flag is a collectible that you may never see again in single signed format. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their sticker of authentication #Z96007 comes affixed to this flag.
