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 Feinstein's classic bestseller, A Good Walk Spoiled, set the bar for golf books. Now Feinstein provides his unique take on the Ryder Cup, which has clearly become golf's most intense and emotional event...it's 'first Major.'. 611 20 Ryder Cup (Golf tournament)|n(41st :|d2016 :|cChaska, Minn.) 611 20 Ryder Cup (Golf tournament)|xHistory. 650 0 Golf|xTournaments|zMinnesota|zChaska. 650 7 SPORTS & RECREATION / Golf.|2bisacsh 650 7 SPORTS & RECREATION / History.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Sports.|2bisacsh 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 776 08 |iOnline version:|aFeinstein, John, author.|tFirst major |dNew York : Doubleday, 2017|z9780385541107|w(DLC) 2017036666 994 C0|bWHP
