Jenkins at the Majors: Sixty Years of the World's Best Golf Writing, from Hogan to Tiger - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Six decades of classic stories on the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, and PGA Championship by one of the most famous sportswriters of all time.

Jenkins has selected more than ninety of his original dispatches from the past sixty years—from Ben Hogan’s great final-round 67 to win the 1951 U.S. Open at torturous Oakland Hills to Tiger Woods's grimacing playoff win against Rocco Mediate fifty-eight years later—all written with his colorful humor and unmatched insight, and all written on deadline, which generations of sportswriters are still trying to emulate.

JENKINS AT THE MAJORS is filled with Jenkins's unparalleled coverage, and the stories remain as vivid and thrilling as the days he wrote them. Weekend warriors and armchair enthusiasts will relish this chance to revisit his favorite memories and matchups, including:

• Ben Hogan besting Sam Snead in an epic battle in the 1953 U.S. Open at Oakmont.

• The legendary 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills, where three eras clashed as Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, and Jack Nicklaus battled it out in the final round

• Greg Norman’s cringe-worthy collapse at the 1996 Masters.

• Tiger Woods’s record-shattering victory in the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach

Jenkins was there, immortalizing these and many other great moments in golf history with his signature style and encyclopedic knowledge of the game in this nostalgic and highly entertaining ride—a must-read for every golf fan.
