Major champion Todd Hamilton remembers how a new driver turned his fortunes around in 2003 when he won four times on the Japan Golf Tour and finally succeeded in getting through PGA TOUR qualifying school. An early 2004 win at the Honda Classic was only a harbinger of things to come as he headed to Royal Troon for the 2004 Open Championship. As the final player to check-in for the event after a flight cancellation, Todd didn't arrive in Ayrshire with his "A" game. After an even-par opening round he "found something" that he stuck with as he went 67-67 on Friday and Saturday to give him the 54-hole lead over Ernie Els by one shot. Stay tuned as Todd takes us through his final round in Part 4, "FORE the Good of the Game."

Join us as Steve Jones takes us on a journey he refers to as his second career, having recovered from serious injury to capture the 1996 U.S. Open. He fondly recalls the recording Ben Hogan sent him after that win congratulating him on taming "The Monster". Voted PGA TOUR Comeback Player of the Year that year, Steve still had several victories in him before other maladies became too much to overcome as he worked to get healthy for the Champions Tour. He was an Assistant Ryder Cup Captain under Hal Sutton in 2004, returning to the scene of his greatest career triumph, Oakland Hills CC. Steve Jones wraps up his life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
