After winning 6 of the 12 Majors from 2000 to 2002, Tiger Woods struggled in 2003. Four unknown golf players — Mike Weir, Jim Furyk, Ben Curtis, and Shaun Micheel — would seize the day, rising to become champions in his wake.
Mike Weir — considered a good golfer but not a great one — triumphed in The Masters, becoming the first Canadian to win a Major. Jim Furyk emerged victorious in the U.S. Open. In the British Open, Ben Curtis became the only player since Francis Ouimet in 1913 to prevail on his first time out, and Shaun Micheel came from nowhere to prevail at the PGA Championship. How does one moment of glory affect the unsung underdog for years to follow?
In Moment of Glory, John Feinstein returns to the unlikely year of 2003 and chronicles the personal and professional struggles of these four players. With great affection for the underdog and extraordinary access to the players, he then looked to the 2008 season, giving readers an insider's look into how winning (and losing) major championships changes players' lives.

      Longtime journalist and author Feinstein hones in on a handful of golfers who have had moments in the sun but have not recaptured the glory. He delves into their backgrounds, professionally and personally, on their climb to some of golf's greatest pinnacles. L.J. Ganser is always solid, bringing interest but not an over-the-top zeal to his narration. Clearly, one of Feinstein's favorite topics to write about is golf, and the gems within this book might not be so much the golfers' stories but the nuances and tidbits he reveals about the sport--its tournaments, rules, and players. Ganser is to Feinstein what a good caddy is to a good golfer: never in the way yet always there with a steady presence. M.B. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
