Open / Feinstein, John

In his latest bestseller, John Feinstein, whom the Boston Globe calls 'the best writer of sports books in America today,' captures the fiercest four days in golf as no other writer could. Chronicling the U.S. Open as it was played, for the first time in history, on a true public golf course-and one of the most challenging courses in the country (only one player, Tiger Woods, finished under par at Bethpage Black)-Feinstein lifts the mystery shrouding golf's most celebrated event and takes the reader through every shot, every trap, every thorny hole, and every bitter rivalry of golf's greatest tournament.

America's sportswriter, John Feinstein, goes behind the scenes of golf's most famed event, the U.S. Open. June 2002 was the first time the Open was held at a public course. Golf's biggest names tell why it meant so much to so many.
