The 1991 U.S. Open was the 91st U.S. Open, held June 13–17 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, a suburb southwest of Minneapolis. Payne Stewart defeated 1987 champion Scott Simpson in an 18-hole Monday playoff to win the first of his two U.S. Open titles.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1139895/index.htm https://archive.today/20130119170944/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1139895/index.htm dead January 19, 2013 Sports Illustrated Payne free at last Reilly Rick June 24, 1991 24 It was the second of Stewart's three major championships.
Stewart held the lead through each of the first three rounds, but in the final round he found himself trailing Simpson by a stroke heading to the 18th. Simpson hit his drive into the rough and could only manage a bogey to Stewart's par, forcing an 18-hole playoff. Both players shot a final-round 72 to finish at 282 total, three shots clear of Larry Nelson and Fred Couples. In the playoff, Simpson led by two-strokes heading to the 16th. He then bogeyed the hole, however, while Stewart made birdie to even up the contest. At the par-3 17th, Simpson found the water on his tee shot and recorded another bogey, giving Stewart a one-shot advantage. Simpson then made bogey on the 18th while Stewart made a par, giving Stewart a two-stroke win and the championship.GOLF; Stewart Captures Open as Simpson Falters Again Stewart's winning score in the playoff of 75 was the highest since Tommy Armour won with a 76 in 1927.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-06-18-sp-806-story.html Los Angeles Times U.S. Open: Stewart shows the finishing touch Florence Mal June 18, 1991
