Winner of the 2003 Masters Tournament, Mike Weir recounts his early days as a golf professional playing the Canadian and Australasian Tours before joining the PGA Tour and becoming the first Canadian player in 45 years to win on that tour in Canada at the 1999 Air Canada Championship. He recalls the letter he wrote to Jack Nicklaus as a 14-year-old asking for advice on whether to switch from left-handed to right-handed and the response he received.
