Mike Reid lost the 1989 PGA Championship to Payne Stewart, after bogeying and double bogeying two of the last three holes. Well, today, Mike Reid won the senior PGA Championship, eagling the last hole and forcing a playoff (after Jerry Pate played safe, but bogeyed). After the round, Reid broke down in tears, still moved by the memories of the late Payne Stewart and the 1989 PGA Championship.
I remember the 1989 defeat for Mike Reid. It was painful to watch. I’m glad he won today because the golfing gods really owed him. He’s one of the nicest professionals out there.
