Donovan & Murdoch 15780; Murdoch 224 - Edgar, an occasionally brilliant but often erratic player who died mysteriously in 1921 at the age of 35, was the pioneer of the method of hitting the ball he referred to as `from inside out.' He was the French Open winner in 1914 and Canadian Open Champ in 1919. The book is based on this ' from inside out' theory, which has slowly become accepted as sound and common practice today. Edgar was the hitting mentor for Tommy Armour
