The Lightning at Hazeltine, and Payne Stewart

While we have great memories of watching one of our favorite golfers, Payne Stewart, win the US Open at Hazeltine, his victory (and his later autographing of a Hazeltine pin flag for us), was marred by our brush with lightning during the tournament. About 50 feet from us, six people were hit by lightning, and one person died, when a sudden thunder storm rolled in over the hill and stranded us and thousands of spectators.
