FULLERTON
The entrance to the Coyote Hills Golf Course has been renamed in honor of PGA player Payne Stewart, a two-time U.S. Open champion who died in a plane crash last October.
The City Council voted Tuesday to rename Masters Drive to Payne Stewart Drive at the request of Unocal, which owns the course. Stewart, known for his trademark knickers and cap, helped with the construction of the course southeast of Bastanchury Road and Brea Boulevard.
Unocal will pay the costs of replacing the street signs.
