PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) - For inspiration this week, Bryson DeChambeau only needs to glance over at his golf bag.
Snapped to the side is a Payne Stewart hat, a tribute to his childhood hero who won the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in dramatic fashion a quarter century ago.
"It makes me think of him every time I'm walking on these grounds," said DeChambeau, who chose to attend Southern Methodist after seeing a mural of Stewart on the walls of the university's athletic department.
"I'm like, 'Oh, my gosh, he went to SMU?'" DeChambeau said. "They're like, 'Yeah, didn't you know?' I was like, 'No, I didn't know he went here.'"
