Tiger Woods's pursuit of an 11th major championship, and his third Claret Jug, is summarized in this 54-minute highlight package of the 2006 British Open at Royal Liverpool. In the wake of the death of his father, Earl, and in his first major since missing the cut at the U.S. Open (his first missed cut at a major), Woods proved not only that he could win the British at a site other than St. Andrews, but that he could win while hardly using his driver. This unlikely strategy paid off in a 18-under-par score that included an amazing eagle on the par-4 14th hole in the second round that even had Woods asking caddy Steve Williams "It went in?" in disbelief. While Sergio Garcia made a third-round run to earn a spot in the final pairing with Woods, the Spaniard collapsed on Sunday and Chris DiMarco, battling his own sadness after the death of his mother, provided the toughest competition down the stretch. But Woods was not to be denied, and his emotional outburst after the final hole was a touching moment. The highlights include the best moments of DiMarco, Garcia, and Ernie Els as well as some off-the-course events (was it really necessary to refer to John Daly as "larger than life"?), but those are all footnotes to watching Woods make history again. --David Horiuchi

Tiger's emotional win at Royal Liverpool, the first after the loss of his father (and best friend) Earl, is one I'll never forget. His golf was calculated, precise, and nearly flawless. Chris DiMarco's attempt to catch Tiger on Sunday made for better drama than most Hollywood movies. Tiger's brain gets him trophies, but it was the rare glimpse of his heart that will always make this Open memorable. A must for Tiger fans, or for anyone who enjoys spectacular golf or high drama on a Sunday.

The book offers what feels to be a valuable revelation about improving your game. The information is well presented and the CD is a nice addition...but really i think counting the the tempo/timing to yourself would be more effective; at least that worked better for me.
