In 2003, after winning six of the twelve majors from 2000 to 2002,
Tiger Woods struggled with his swing, leaving him lagging behind
the field at both the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship. With
Woods out of the picture, the stage was set for a newcomer to claim
the top position. Nobody expected that four virtually unknown
players would rise to become first-time champions.
In his debut appearance in a major, 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 Shawn Micheel.
But after each player's history-making season, the four have had
little further success. 2008 is the first year since that
unexpected year, when it will be possible for the four golfers to
qualify for the tour.""In MOMENT OF GLORY, John Feinstein returns
to the unlikely year of 2003 and chronicle the personal and
professional struggles of these four players. With great affection
for the underdog and extraordinary access to the players, he then
looks to the 2008 season, giving readers an insider's look into to
how winning (and losing) major championships changes players'
lives.
