ATLANTA – When Billy Andrade made the PGA Tour in 1988, he was greeted by Payne Stewart, who called him “Rook,” and took him under his wing.
“He busted my chops and needled me for three straight years,” Andrade recalled. “His caddie, Mike Hicks, in 1991 finally said, ‘Enough is enough, Payne. You need to leave him alone. Billy’s one of the good guys,’ and after that we became good friends.”
