Professional golfer Azinger has established himself as one of the leading figures in the sport. He has an impressive record of tournament victories despite his comparatively young age, but his greatest victory was when he overcame cancer in his shoulder and reentered the world of professional golf. Zinger is the autobiography of a deeply religious man who found unusual strength and character through his beliefs. While Azinger will undoubtedly have an impressive biography as his professional achievements accumulate, this abridged work is rather superficial. Buck Schirner provides a flowing narration, and the production quality is quite good. Purchase only for inspirational collections or where interest in professional golf is unusually high.?Ray Vignovich, West Des Moines P.L., Ia.

Booklist
From 1987 through 1993, golfer Paul Azinger was one of the leading money winners on the pro tour, but he was tagged as "the most successful player to never win a major." It was an unpleasant burden, but one that vanished when he won the 1993 PGA title. Just as his professional life crested, he received devastating news--the nagging tendinitis in his shoulder was actually cancer. In his pain, he turned to religion, and Christianity played a large role in his subsequent recovery. His religious faith continues as the cornerstone of his life, but this autobiography is about much more than Azinger's ongoing religious experience. Azinger's anecdotes and behind-the-scenes tales of life on the pro tour will keep readers entertained, and his play-by-play accounts of his successes--usually deadly dull in sports bios--are okay, too. Toss in some autobiographical accounts of his pleasant youth, and one has a nice mix of inspiration, humor, and links excitement. Wes Lukowsky
