RICKIE FOWLER WALKED onto the first teebox at Pinehurst in the footsteps of the late, great Payne Stewart today.
Stewart won the tournament at the North Carolina course 15 years ago before tragically dying in a plane crash.
This morning, Fowler — one of the rising stars of the American tour — surprised fans with his knickers and argyle socks outfit. Top marks.
Here’s Stewart rocking the look at Pinehurst in 1999.
