Here, Robbins brings Stewart's  story vividly to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169718452464,"sku":"2940170031566","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170031566_p0.jpg?v=1763699918","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170031566","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
