Here, Robbins brings Stewart's story vividly to life.\u003cbr\u003eWritten off as a pompous showman past the prime of his career, Stewart emerged from a long slump in the unforgettable season of 1999 to capture the U.S. Open and play on the victorious U.S. Ryder Cup team. He appeared to be a new man that summer: wiser, deeper, and on the verge of a new level of greatness. Then his journey to redemption ended in October, when his chartered Learjet flew aimlessly for more than a thousand miles, ran out of fuel, and fell to earth in a prairie in South Dakota.\u003cbr\u003eHis death marked the end of an era, one made up of \"shotmakers\" who played the game with artistry, guile, finesse, and heart. Behind them were Tiger Woods, David Duval, Phil Mickelson, and other young players whose power and strength changed the PGA Tour forever. With exclusive access to Stewart's friends, family, and onetime colleagues, Kevin Robbins provides a long-overdue portrait of one of golf's greats in one of golf's greatest seasons.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the USGA Herbert Warren Wind Book Award\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKevin Robbins\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning veteran sports writer and the author of \u003ci\u003eHarvey Penick, \u003c\/i\u003eco-winner of the 2017 Herbert Warren Wind International Book Award.
