520    Coming into 2016, the Americans had lost an astounding six
       out of the last seven Ryder Cup matches, and tensions were
       running high for the showdown that took place in October, 
       2016 in Hazeltine, Minnesota, just days after American 
       legend Arnold Palmer had died. 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.'
