"Rocco Mediate's amazing account of the most dramatic U.S. Open ever played. The U.S. Open in June 2008 produced one of the most unexpected, dramatic, and memorable showdowns in golf history. Day after day, Rocco Mediate, a respected journeyman whose career had been dogged by injuries, pushed the seemingly invincible Tiger Woods to his physical and mental limits. Not even Mediate would ever have predicted that for five days, he would match the unbeaten world number one player, explosive shot for explosive shot. The first 72 holes ended with Mediate and Woods locked in a dead heat, and an 18-hole Monday playoff was required to decide a winner. When this was still not enough to break the tie, the two men went into a sudden-death round before a champion was finally crowned. Through each stage, the irrepressible Rocco rose to the everescalating pressure with clutch shots, grace, and humor, emerging as one of the most likable and intriguing golfers of our time. Now, at last, Rocco Mediate tells his own story: his life in golf, the battles to stay healthy enough to play, the everyday struggles of a tour player. It all leads up to his story of the Open, and the joy he felt as he seized the challenge he'd dreamed of and trained for his entire life. In this intimate collaboration with bestselling author John Feinstein, Rocco Mediate looks back at his life through the prism of the 2008 season and the life-changing tournament. And through interviews with Rocco's family, friends, and other top golfers, Feinstein vividly brings to life one of the most heroic golfing battles of all time." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Includes List of Other Books by John Feinstein; Author Dedication; Introduction; Epilogue; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of color photographic plates. "John Feinstein returns to baseball at last. Following two star pitchers as they battle through career-defining seasons. Pitchers are at the heart of baseball. They are the ones with the ball in their hands for every pitch of every game. They have the potential to make their team a winner or, very quickly, a loser. The pressure is huge. The constant expectations of teammates, managers, owners, and most certainly, fans make every outing a test of skill and of a pitcher's will. In the end, only those with the arm and the heart and the ability to manage extraordinary stress emerge as champions. John Feinstein looks into this complex side of the game through the eyes of two great pitchers trying to perfom at the highest level possible in the twilight of their careers, in the biggest media fishbowl in America. Tom Glavine and Mike Mussina have seen it all in the major leagues: remarkable highs and frustrating lows. Both entered the 2007 season seeking to achieve individual milestones and wanting one more shot at the World Series - Glavine with the Mets; Mussina, a few miles and one borough away, with the Yankees. Despite their proximity, they experienced very different seasons - one pitching for a team dealing with the pressures of trying to qualify for the World Series for the first time in seven years; the other with a legendary team expected to be there every year. Feinstein captures the roller coaster that was the 2007 season for each team through the experiences of two pitchers at the center of it all. Taking the reader through off-season contract negotiations, the feel-good days of spring training; and the joys and heartbreaks Glavine and Mussina experience during the season and how they deal with them and with the people in their lives - family, managers, pitching coaches, catchers, other pitchers - John Feinstein provides a true insider's look into the most intensely watched and scrutinized position in sports: major league starting pitcher." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Includes List of Other Books by John Feinstein; Author Dedication; Epilogue; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of color photographic plates. "The four tournaments known as the majors - the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship - are the absolute pinnacle of golf, competitions played at a level of pressure guaranteed to give even the greatest golfers the shakes. The 1998 majors were no exception, and they produced indelible moments: Mark O'Meara capturing two titles and making a strong run at a third, Lee Janzen having his lost ball drop out of a tree at the U.S. Open, Brian Watts making an amazing bunker shot on the final hole of the British Open, Vijay Singh banking his shot off a tree on Sunday at Sahalee. But for each of those cinematic moments, there are hundreds more that are equally powerful but virtually unknown. In The Majors, bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein accompanies a dozen top glofers as they play these tournaments, revealing what it is that makes them so demanding - and what it takes to win such exalted prizes. He takes us onto the courses and into the back rooms to show us how decisions are made on what players will be paired together and where the holes will be placed on different days - including the disastrous hole placement that caused such outrage at the U.S. Open. Most of all, The Majors shows us the greatest golfers of our time under the greatest pressure they ever experience - how Payne Stewart manages to sleep when he has the lead at the U.S. Open, how Mark O'Meara paces himself for a masterful Sunday, how John Daly deals with frustrations and maintains his sobriety. Just as he explored the daily demands of a year on tour in his bestseller A Good Walk Spoiled, John Feinstein here reveals how champions get their putters back when the championship is on the line. Written with the absolute authority of a master of his subject, The Majors will fascinate and amaze anyone who thinks they know the game of golf." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

"The moving story of a life in golf as lived by a man who has seen it all - Tom Watson's lifelong caddy, Bruce Edwards. During the 2003 U.S. Open, most eyes were not trained on defending champion Tiger Woods or on Phil Mickelson or Ernie Els. These top golfers and others, even Jim Furyk, who would go on to win the title, all took a backseat to a fifty-three-year-old past champion and his caddy. For most of thirty years, Bruce Edwards has caddied for Tom Watson. In their final U.S. Open together they made history. Of course Bruce Edwards is no ordinary caddy. In 1973, forgoing college, he took a chance on the pro golf tour. He soon hooked up with a young Tom Watson and has not looked back since. Watson would go on to win thirty-nine PGA Tour events, including eight major titles - one U.S. Open, two Masters, and five British Opens. Year after year, the indelible image to those who followed Watson was the great golfer striding the fairways matched step for step by his friend, caddy, and companion - Bruce Edwards. As 2002 gave way to 2003, Edwards was engaged to be married and looking forward to another competitive year as Watson's caddy. But he and Watson had become concerned when he couldn't grip a golf ball on a cold October morning and more worried when he began to slur his speech. After a lifetime of avoiding doctors, Edwards finally had to take notice. Tests at the Mayo Clinic in January revealed that Edwards had ALS - Lou Gehrig's disease. His doctors estimated that he had one to three years to live. The love, dismay, and admiration that poured forth once word spread about Edwards' illness were nearly overwhelming. Even as the disease encroached on his physical capabilities, Edwards kept a sense of humor and continued to do the job he had dedicated his life to. Now Watson, other friends, and family are by his side as this much-admired man faces his greatest challenge with the same courage and determination that have made him one of the most esteemed figures in professional golf. Inspired by the performance during 2003 - on and off the golf course - of Edwards, his wife, Marsha, and Tom Watson, John Feinstein has written a moving, dramatic, and thoughtful book about a life devoted to sports and the enduring bonds of friendship." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
