The Longest Shot: Jack Fleck, Ben Hogan, and Pro Golf's Greatest Upset at the 1955 U.S. Open
$17.15, amazon.com
All these years later, we still marvel at the improbability of a municipal pro from Iowa catching the mighty Hogan on the final hole of regulation and then prevailing in a playoff. The Fleck saga would be golfing fantasy if it weren't, in fact, so terrifically real; Neil Sagebiel's scrupulously reported book chronicles it with verve.
