, a dramatic chronicle of the bitterly-fought
2016 Ryder Cup pitting a U.S. team out for revenge against the
Europeans determined to keep the Cup out of American
hands.
Coming into 2016, the Americans had lost an astounding six out of
the last seven Ryder Cup matches, and tensions were running high
for the showdown that took place in October, 2016 in Hazeltine,
Minnesota, just days after American legend Arnold Palmer had died.
What resulted was one of the most raucous and heated three days in
the Cup's long history. Award-winning author John Feinstein takes
readers behind the scenes, providing an inside view of the dramatic
stories as they unfolded: veteran Phil Mickelson's two-year
roller-coaster as he upended the American preparation process and
helped assemble a superb team; superstar Rory McIlroy becoming the
clear-cut emotional leader of the European team, and his reasons
for wanting to beat the US team so badly this time around; the
raucous matches between McIlroy and American Patrick Reed -
resulting in both incredible golf, and several moments that
threatened to come to blows; the return of Tiger Woods not as a
player but an assistant captain, and his obsession with helping the
US win - which was never the case when he was playing. John
