Description
This is the story of how two different individuals from very different backgrounds converged at the Masters, not only to become close friends but also attain the greatest prize in golf—not once, but twice. Ben Crenshaw, the golfer, grew up in Austin, Texas, and worked his way to two Masters Green Jackets. Carl Jackson, the caddie, grew up poor in segregated Augusta, Georgia, but worked his way to caddying in a record 52 Masters, through 2013. With more than 200 photos, this book focuses on their friendship and their surprisingly parallel lives.
