The Year Tiger Lost His Swing and Underdogs Ruled the Majors
CD-Audio
Publication Date: 17/06/2010
After winning six of the twelve Majors from 2000 to 2002, Tiger Woods struggled with his swing in 2003, leaving the door open for other players to rack up big wins. Nobody expected that four virtually unknown players would rise to become first-time champions. In his debut appearance in a Major at the British Open, Ben Curtis became the only player since Francis Ouimet in 1913 to prevail on his first time out. Mike Weir-who was considered a good player but not a great one-triumphed in The Masters, becoming the first Canadian to win a Major. In the U.S. Open, Jim Furyk was victorious and the PGA Championship was claimed by the unknown Shaun Micheel. However after this history-making season, these champions have had little further success. 2008 is the first year it was even possible for all four to qualify for the tour. In Moment of Glory, John Feinstein returns to the unlikely year of 2003 and chronicles the personal and professional struggles of these players. With great affection for the underdog and extraordinary access, he then looks to the 2008 season, giving readers an insider's look into how winning (and losing) major championships changes players' lives.
