Caddie Mike Hicks, left, and Aaron Stewart, son of the late Payne Stewart, who won the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, are seen on the 18th green following a practice round of golf on the course in Pinehurst, N.C., Monday, June 29, 2009. Hicks caddied for Payne Stewart, who is memorialized by the statue in the background. Aaron Stewart is part of a field competing in the North & South Men's Amateur Championship this week at Pinehurst.

Aaron Stewart walked onto the 18th green at Pinehurst's No. 2 course on Monday and allowed himself a peek at the imposing figure standing near the clubhouse. Yes, his dad was watching. The late Payne Stewart still casts a long shadow at Pinehurst — both physically, a statue of the first U.S. Open champion crowned at No.
