Nice story from the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser about SMU golfer Aaron Stewart:

Stewart blazes his own path behind father
BY TIM GAYLE / Montgomery Advertiser

There are more than a few sets of eyes on Aaron Stewart as he lines up for a putt on the 18th hole at Lagoon Park Golf Course.

It isn't because he's one of the top young golfers in America. And as a redshirt freshman at Southern Methodist University, he doesn't have the experience many of the other golfers competing in today's Collegiate Players Tour might possess.

But 50 feet away from the 18th hole, a print of Aaron's father, Payne, hangs in a display case in the golf shop, a reminder nine years after his father's death of the burden of being the son of one of the most recognizable and immensely popular players in professional golf history.

What a cool story.
I can only imagine what it's like for him every time he picks up a golf club. Good luck, Aaron!
