Description
2002 was the 25th anniversary of what is arguably the most exciting and important moment in modern golf history: the 1977 Open, where a young talent named Tom Watson defeated the legendary Jack Nicklaus.
'Duel in the Sun' charts a rich history of the Open before moving on to paint in-depth, colourful portraits of Nicklaus and Watson. It draws on a wide range of interviews with the stars, fellow competitors, caddies, commentators and spectators, to tell a magnificent story of the rise of a fiercely driven new hero - and the poignant grace of a wise champion welcoming him to the summit of the game.
An experienced writer and editor, Michael Corcoran has written or co-written four books, including The PGA Tour Complete Book of Golf.
