More importantly-and unforgivably-Thompson fails to emphasize that, ailing or not, Rommel did live up to his reputation by the brilliant way he feinted and eluded British attacks...
...finished second, time after time, in the game's biggest tournaments. In 1941, he finally made it, defeating Byron Nelson for the Masters title; two months later, he beat Denny Shute to win the Open, a feat that earned him a place in golf's Hall of Fame...
