Description
The story of John McDermott is both heroic and tragic. As a 19 year old, in 1911 he became the first native born American to win the U.S. Open and he repeated this success the following year. He truly was the man who paved the way for Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, and the rest. And yet within a few years, he was institutionalized in a sanitarium where he would spend the rest of his days. In many he has become a forgotten figure in the rich history of American golf. For the first time the life of John McDermott, both on and off the golf course, is chronicled in a detailed manner- from the caddie yard, to U.S. Open Champion, to his mental health issues. His is a remarkable story.
