"The match makes for good theater on its own, but under Corcoran’s hand it becomes an epic tale borne from golf's historic roots."―Golf World Source: Golf World
"By the end of Corcoran's recounting of the golf tournament, one partly understands why such competitions retain such a hold on human imaginations."―Sports Literature Association Source: Sports Literature Association
"A rare book that delivers more than the title promises . . . Even for those who recall the event in detail, this book will prove entertaining and enlightening."―Library Journal Source: Library Journal
"Corcoran conveys the essence of the game at a golfer's pace, an unhurried and careful examination of the course, the wind, the lie, the texture of the grass, the landing area, risk and reward, the safe shot, the position of the field, the adrenalin of the moment, the habit or tendency shown in like situations. Everything feeds the story."―William R. Willan, Aethlon Author: William R. Willan Source: Aethlon
