Description
Rory McIlroy's stunning victory at Royal Liverpool is captured in full in The Open Championship 2014, the official story of last summer's version of the golf's oldest championship. McIlroy led from start to finish playing some of the finest golf ever seen but still had to fight off the challenges of Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler on a dramatic final day. "This is the one you really want," said the Northern Irishman on receiving the historic Claret Jug. His victory made him the third player to win three different major championships by the age of 25 and was the centrepiece of a wonderful season that saw him re-established as the undisputed world No 1. With commentaries from leading golf writers and illustrated by the superb photography of the Getty Images golf team, The Open Championship 2014 is an essential souvenir for all those who were present to see history made at Hoylake and the millions who watched around the world on television.
