Cook’s third book on golf is a captivating tale of what many thought impossible: winning the game’s four majors in a row. In a breezy, assured style, Cook begins with a brief biography of Tiger Woods and his family and an insightful short history of golf balls, including Woods’ switch to a new brand. His swing guru, Claude Harmon, thought “that his prize pupil might be about to take golf to a higher level.” The rough at the Pebble Beach Golf Links would be very thick for the 100th U.S. Open, held in 2000. Word was, even par may win. Woods started with a 65. He finished his second with only one ball (he didn’t know that) and a six-shot lead. After the windy third, it jumped to 10. Cook creates suspense even when readers know the outcome, a win, 15 strokes ahead of the next player. The British Open was at hallowed St. Andrews. After the first round, Ernie Els led by one over Woods, who took the lead after round two, then the third, by six shots. He beat his friend, David Duval, to win, using only one tee—the youngest to win all four majors. At Kentucky’s lackluster Valhalla Golf Club, he would also be the PGA’s defending champion. An opening 66 had him tied for the lead. A 67 resulted in a 36-hole scoring record. Woods battled the competitive journeyman Bob May in a playoff to win his third major in a row. The Masters and his fourth major were 10 months away. Amid the fans’ roars he barely beat Phil Mickelson and Duval. Jack Nicklaus called it the “most amazing feat in the history of golf.”
