Each of the four major golf tournaments, the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA, has its own personality, level of competition, and drama. Here, John Feinstein follows such top stars as Mark OMeara, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Fred Couples, and David Duval, together with lesser-known contenders, through the four tournaments. Readers are treated to a behind-the-scenes look at how big-name players orchestrate their seasons to be at peak form for these intense events. At the same time, Feinstein gives us the history and lore of the tournaments, showing how they became and remain The Majors. The Majors sees Feinstein taking the themes of A Good Walk Spoiled to an even higher and more dramatic level; a great gift and another #1 bestseller. John Feinsteins A Good Walk Spoiled was a #1 New York Times bestseller in both hardcover and paperback. He is a regular commentator on NPR and writes for the Washington Post Sunday Magazine and Golf Magazine.作者简介John Feinstein is an American sportswriter and commentator. He is a columnist for the Washington Post, an author, is a guest commentator on NPR, and does color commentary for United States Naval Academy football games. He is also a frequent contributor to The Tony Kornheiser Show. During a radio broadcast of the football game between the Naval Academy and Duke University on October 1, 2005, Feinstein blurted an obscenity over-the-air in response to what he perceived to be a bad call on the field. He immediately removed himself from the rest of the broadcast, except to return at the end to apologize on the air. Although he offered his resignation to the Naval Academy, they rejected it because of his contrition and have invited him to continue to participate in future broadcasts. Feinstein was a sports writer for the The Chronicle while enrolled at Duke University, where he graduated in 1977. One of Feinstein's nicknames is "Junior", despite not having the suffix in his name. The name was given by Tony Kornheiser because of the similarities in his temper to John McEnroe. Feinstein sometimes fills in as a guest host on The Jim Rome Show. Rome considers Feinstein to be one of the most intelligent people he's interviewed on the show, and occasionally teases him about an over-the-phone interview that was interrupted by Feinstein's daughter.
