Description
For years Phil Mickelson symbolised the classic runner-up of sport. Always placing near the top of every tournament, always near the top of the earnings list but never winning one of the majors! Then finally, on one magical Sunday in 2004, his dream came true when he won the US Masters in Augusta, sinking an 18 foot putt on the last hole to beat Ernie Els by just one stroke. Mickelson's leap of celebration was seen around the world and millions of golf fans leapt for joy with him. ONE MAGICAL SUNDAY takes us round the course, hole by hole and stroke by stroke, but as it does so the book interweaves Phil's life - from his introduction to the game aged 3, to his All-American career at Arizona State University, to his decision to turn pro, the courtship of and marriage to his wife Amy and how they balance family life with three young children with his career. Funny, poignant, entertaining and above all, a candid play by play of his greatest victory, winning the Masters on that magical Sunday and all told in his own voice.
