		Jones was the master of golf before he created the Masters tournament, too hotheaded for his own good at times, drinking a bit too much and enduring a hard-to-pinpoint neurological ailment.
		Obstacles are raised — a nasty case of varicose veins, a ban from playing until he controls his anger, a neglected wife (Claire Forlani) — then quickly dispatched.
		Finally, there's nothing left to explain except the obvious, that Jones won the Grand Slam of his day — the U.S. and British Amateurs and the U.S. and British Opens — then retired at age 28.
