Více o knize

The 1951 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills marked a pivotal moment in golf history, as it was the first championship where the USGA intentionally altered the course, creating the notorious "Monster" designed by Robert Trent Jones. This event showcased Ben Hogan's remarkable resilience, overcoming chronic pain from a severe car accident and competing against a field of future Hall of Famers. Hogan's record-setting final round of 67 was deemed his greatest, culminating in his iconic declaration of triumph over the challenging course.
