Product Description
Product Description
Sandy Lyle is one of Britain’s best-loved golfers. As both Faldo and Ballesteros have commented, he had ‘the greatest God-given talent in history’ and in 1985 he became the first Briton for 16 years to win the Open. Three years later he was the first British player ever to win the Masters, playing one of the most famous shots of all time to secure victory.
At the height of Lyle’s success, his swing began to fail. He refused to give up, earning him huge admiration and respect from the golfing public. In 2005 he showed he still has the talent to compete, when he went into the final round of the Open very much in contention, six behind Tiger Woods.
Lyle’s story is one of classic sporting moments, golfing genius and gritty determination to battle back to the top, told with his natural charm and wit.

About the Author
Born in Shrewsbury to Scottish parents, Sandy Lyle became one of the best golfers Britain has ever produced. He topped the European Order of Merit three times (1979, 1980, 1985) and won two Majors - the Open in 1985 and the Masters in 1988. In 1988 he also won the 'fifth Major', the prestigious Players' Championship in Florida - the only European ever to do so. He played in five consecutive Ryder Cup competitions, from 1979 to 1987. He is still a regular on the Tour and in 2005 he had his best Open performance for many years.
