Publisher Description
Legendary sportswriter Red Smith characterized Ben Hogan’s comeback from a near-fatal automobile crash in February 1949 as “the most remarkable feat in the history of sports.” Now, more than 60 years later, that statement still rings true. The crowning moment of Hogan’s comeback was his astonishing victory in the 1950 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club near Philadelphia, where his battered legs could barely carry him on the 36-hole final day. Miracle at Merion -the recipient of the USGA’s 2010 Herbert Warren Wind Award for the best golf book of the year - tells the stirring story of Hogan’s valiant triumph over adversity.

When does the tourney story start?
Brutal, which is a shame cuz it's an awesome historical event. The first 7 hours of the 10hour book has nothing to do with Hogan, Merion, or the tournament. 7 hours of giving a bio of each person that played golf during the era. But not cool bio's.. More like boring stats, who they are married to, their wives bio, etc. etc. (literally)
