What a great Champion. He was my favorite growing up. The sophisticated British golf spectators loved Seve, and he them. Miss him.
Hard not to cry watching this all the way through...Seve, you're always gonna be a legend.
Yes, this was the last Open I watched with my Grandad, who was such a keen golf fan, but what a great Championship to see with so many world class names. He passed away a week later.
@@112sje What a great memory!!!
Back to a time with no technology, only pure talent. Doesn’t get much better than an Open Championship at St Andrews. Thanks for this upload.
That was so good. Persimmon woods, miniscule blades and old school balls but still incredible golf.
I love the look and sound of wooden drivers and fairway woods
Nostalgia elicits soulful reflection and watching a golfing hero like Seve Ballesteros win the Open at St. Andrews, in Seve like style, after all these years makes it hard to believe that he is gone. Anyone who knows anything about golf cannot deny how truly great and special he was. It seems a shame for few that they get old and pass away. Seve is one of those few. RIP great man. I am thankful that I was lucky enough to have watched you while you were in your prime.
The greatest way to win and ofcourse the most famous celebration. Great to see Seve at his best. What a player

Seve legend icon superstar sadly missed.
Seve and super Mex what shot makers!!! God what great swings!!!!
Thank you for the upload of one of the most iconic Open Championships of all time made more special by Seve's epic Victory and his never to be forgotten celebration
This is basically the moment that Seve overtook Watson as the world's top player. By the way, top marks to the R&A for keeping the BBC golf theme in.
Say what you like, Tom Watson was a links course specialist. 1975-83 .. almost unbeatable.
And Watson lost in s pkayoff to Syeeart Cink in 2009 at Turnberry at 59 years old. He can still golf his ball and shoots his age (72) virtually any time he tees it up.
What an incredible iron player! In my mind, he won that last one when he was 59. Great Champion! 5 Open wins!
@@dorothygale1104yes and Watson finished 3rd in 1994, also at Turnberry. Of all the Open courses that seemed to be his favorite, having also won a Senior Open there in 2003. It’s a shame he never won at St Andrews, 1984 is the closest he came.
Th greatest moment in golf.
1:16:50 Trevino says of Seve's downhill lie 3 iron "Touch of class baby, touch of class"
Brilliant.
On the 3rd round of this open, I joined in with the photographers, and followed Seve at close quarters I Did have a camera with me and took just one pic, should've taken a lot more but I was simply awe struck, there was a hold up round about the turn and we were all just sitting about, and Seve's caddie aske me for a cigarette damn I never had one, best two hours of my life on a golf course.
Wow! Great memory, very fortunate to have seen Seve up close!
Great shots from a golden era. Thank you.
Unbelievable upload. Thank you so much. RIP Maestro.
Without doubt my favourite open, what a player
This was the last tournament before faldos rebuild , I love his old willowy swing , he hit it a mile ,
Apparently a major issue was his “ ballooning flight “
Made it hard for him to control distance , I love that flight , it must’ve been something else to watch him
bless his heart, seve was a flaming star, sadly gone too soon,
i miss his charisma ,him and peter aliss framed a halcyon
era in golf`s history,we were all blessed to share that.😇😇
The perfect mix of technology, skill, and course architecture - with the result that the tournament identified the best players in the game at the time.
Brilliant Open Championship was there that week
So many Great Champions on such an iconic course…
I was there…a 20 year old touring Europe. What a great time to be alive!…
What a great upload thanks very much for this.
Unforgetable Open with the charismatic Seve Ballesteros.
Thank you for this!
Really interesting to see how many of the top pro’s were using the Ping putters here. Seve, Watson, Baker-Finch, Langer and Faldo with a Pal I think. And those are just the ones I can remember lol
I recently bought a Ping PAL 2 from eBay ^_^
Yeah, and I couldn't believe some were still using that "bullseye" putter😂😂😂...but my Dad could putt well with one of those and I think there were many others
@@stevedriscoll2539 Those were awful (imho)! lol But I also remember them being popular, at least until Ping (Anser series, B60, Eye etc), Wilson (mainly the one Faldo won 89+90 Masters with), Zebra, and then finally Titleist w/Scotty Cameron really took over.
Good times!
@@dronespace Nice! Great putters. Still have my bronze Ping Anser that I found 2nd hand at a car boot sale. It was cut to 33” and to this day it’s still perfect for me.
The music at the start
80s goodness
Unfortunately my old man just failed to qualify for this British Open. We flew to Scotland for his qualifying round, from Kenya, and after he missed out, we followed Ian Baker Finch around, for a couple of days, it was great. On the last day we pretty much sat at the 17th hole. It was so awesome watching all my idles, I was 12 at the time. I met Bernard Langer at the Pringle Tent, he was cool. I ran on to the course with a couple of other kids to get Seve Ballesteros autograph and his caddy told us to piss off! 😂 That was on Wednesday, when were encouraged to do that. The game was to get a many as we could 😂 we would have been annoying. It was an experience I'll never forget.
Great to be able to watch all this action from one of the best Opens ever. Golf was much more fun to watch then with master craftsmen like Tom and Seve. Harry Carpenter presenting with messrs Alliss and co commentating. I was so hoping that Nick Faldo would do it for Britain but I only had three more years to wait 😀
After Nick got off the schnide, he was winning and winning big. It was good to see.
Yes, not many players are brave enough to do what he did when he went to Leadbetter and took his swing to bits. He is probably still the best golfer Britain has ever produced.
Greatest celebration EVER in golf, Woosie 2nd
I was there a young 32yr old Maori boy traveling the world ,good to be young Lol
Can’t believe that Tom Watson never won another major 😢
Tom Watson was top of the American money list in 1984, but he didn't win a Major, indeed he'd never win one again.
It's very interesting on this longer film to see his poor putting early in the final round, in fact it's the first time I've seen it since it was live in 1984! I reckon this was the early indication of the putting weakness which would cost him so many titles in the years ahead. Everyone focuses on the differing ways Tom and Seve played the last two holes, but I reckon this, even more than in 2009, is the one Watson let get away early in that final round,. at St Andrews too, and to tie Harry Vardon's record.
I bet that this is the one which deep down most bothers him to this day, though I don't expect the very private Tom Watson to say so - he's never written or authorised an autobiography has he.
Great theme tune
always good to see Norman playing ... he was a bit slow but what a player
He always muttered "Q .... Q ...." after he holed out. lol
Seve always holed the putts when it mattered, especially in those earlier rounds.
Not at Augusta in 1987, 3 man playoff
“Do you think he enjoyed that one”, well I know I did!
Almost impossible to watch with adverts every 2-3 minutes. Shame really, as it is great footage.
I despise advertising. I'm pretty sure 99% of people do
rad
Anyone who thinks that these top players would not be just as good today is smokin crack. Keep in mind how inferior the clubs and balls they were using as compared to the computer fitted modern equipment. It is a big difference. The ball alone is a massive difference. The likes of Norman, Watson, Seve, and of course, JACK. They would still be amongst the top ten in the world. I think that a lot of younger people do not realize how much better the balls and clubs are now. It’s a huge difference.
Imagine the Golden Bear with modern equipment when he was in his prime ❤
@@dronespace indeed. One of the greatest clutch putters ever. And one of the longest and straightest drivers of all time. With a modern ball and driver it would be a sight to behold. And pair all of that with his great mind and unparalleled iron play... WOW. Plus a moral family man and philanthropist off the course. Simply the greatest champion ever. 100%.
Agreed.
Greg Norman was 29 here , I’m just going to let that sit
We were ALL 29 once.
@@shofey
He looks 49
Seve was the best.
It's ok if you disagree.
Just means your wrong.
Seve 5 majors Jack Nicklaus 18.. think that stat says it all
But Nicklaus always said that “Seve at his best played a game that he that he was not familiar with”.
Seve’s career window at his best due to chronic back problems was only 10 or 11 years. Definitely the most talented and charismatic golfer ever.
@davidbrooks187 Seve came on the scene in 1976 at Birkdale & won the 1995 Spanish Open. That's 19 years, just saying.
Seve Another one taken far too early 😥😥😥
Can you imagine what today's "geometry police" would do to Seve? With their putting lauch monitors and bs. That toe in the air would be "banned". Then there's Isao Aoki. The modern game sports "science" and "tech" for it's own sake or for commercial gain. Much of golf is an art. These players compensated for their idiosyncrasies and most importantly let their evolved biology take care of things .... and they stayed comfortable while doing so .... something few seem to consider now as they try to create robotic players. Ray Floyd had a fantastic short game and was always keen to be "comfortable" over the ball. They had inferior equipment back then and more waywrd golf balls yet they scored just the same. Sports science is fine in the right place and the right time. What's in the players head is far more important than his putting ball launch stats ....
Yes, excellent comment!
That 3rd round of Faldo was very uncharacteristic.
It was what promoted him to embark on his two-year swing change.
He felt his willowy swing just wasn’t holding up under pressure.
“prompted”
@@andrewrobinson8305 promoted is fine, also means to actively encourage.
@@mikejones-go8vz ... But what prompted you to use promoted? Was it Irwin Corey's "Protocol takes precedence over procedure"???
These awful adverts ruin the video - far too many of them and spoil our experience. It puts me off the products being advertised.
Norman could not hole short putts at all
Norman was over-hyped and over-rated IMO...I never could understand how the first time I saw him on some silly season mixed tournament (with girl partners). They said he "hunted Great White Sharks" and he said "He didn't understand why Americans took the game so seriously, but later he got pretty serious himself.
Where are the trees on this golf court. It look like playing golf on diesel. Let growing more tree on our planet earth 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🙊🙊🙊🙉🙉🙉🙈🙈🙈
Lolololololololol!!!
Weirdo
I have dozens and dozens of these on dozens and dozens of VHS tapes. The days when all four majors were free to watch on terrestrial TV are sadly gone. I always hated that ghastly music which still prevails to this day. They've gone PC balmy with everything at the BBC yet still hold onto this awful tune for the golf. The Augusta Masters theme .... I can understand ..... but this up tempo piece is totally NOT golf. lol
Steve, my brother Mike and I had maybe 75 or 100 vhs tapes with tournaments from the early and mid eighties. I had to get rid of them after my Dad died as we all move on😢
@@stevedriscoll2539 I will transfer mine slowly via CCTV recorder onto memory cards, then to TH-cams I have several VCR's. It'll be fun watching them, assuming I live long enough to watch them all. I did start years ago but got my account suspended. These days that doesn't happen. They just route a revenue to the copyright owner.
@@steveperryman8102 that's interesting, I didn't know how that worked, but I always appreciated how a person could watch old tournaments because someone uploaded them. I can see where the copyright thing was an issue...nothing is ever free.
Rahm and Garcia should be ashamed at their artless golf and lack of style when they see how Seve played the game. I would watch this guy's swing on purpose and not just because he was winning a golf tournament.
Life goes on Mr. Panic.
@@shofey unfortunately so does miguel angel.
