Introduction
Description
Tony Jacklin is an icon - the Beckham of his day - and he knew how to win.
In 1969, Tony Jacklin became a national hero when, with his trademarks gutsy style, he became the first British player in nearly 20 years to win the British Open. He topped this less than a year later by winning the US Open. He was the first British competitor to win the tournament for 50 years.
Jacklin looks back on his career as the godfather of modern golf, recalling his triumphs and trials and assessing how the game has changed. As the man credited with igniting the rivalry between the US and European golf teams, Tony also tells the previously unheard stories of his Ryder Cup captaincy.
Forthright and candid, this book reveals how the one-time world's best golfer found the passion and motivation to win.
