Forever remembered as one of the most dramatic storylines in the history of golf, Payne Stewart's legendary career was bookended by a dramatic comeback and a tragic end. Written off as a pompous showman past the prime of his career, Stewart emerged from a long slump in the unforgettable season of 1999 to capture the U.S. Open and play on the victorious U.S. Ryder Cup team. With access to Stewart's family and colleagues, Robbins chronicles his heroic final year, and shows how his death in a bizarre plane crash marked the end of an era, one made up of "shotmakers" who played the game with artistry, guile, finesse, and heart.
