I had just gotten into golf and was watching the Open for the first time. Was rooting for Nick for no particular reason. When he drained that bomb on 17, I started yelling in amazement. Went out later that afternoon and had about a 30’ putt on my last hole. Decided to make it like Nick. He’s been my all time favorite since and I will always remember that putt with him jumping.
2 guys walked upto the 18th green, in different groups, cheered as victors by the crowd, both waving as champions. Not sure that happened before or since?
Tom watson was a great player at the open but st andrews eluded him he overhit his iron shot at the 71st hole then ballesteros stepped upto win the title at the next hole. He never did equal harry vardons haul of 6 open titles but he is still an all time golfing great respect to him.

I followed him around the Million Dollar at Sun City the year before and that was an extraordinary performance too.
Fairly remarkable turn around when he was 3 shots behind on the 16th green.
Fully deserved by Nick Price. Was a top player for years - great duel with Seve in 1988.
Class winner. What a putt 💣 on the 17th wow. 🏆
3h30 for a round of golf with the tournament on the line it's ground breaking!
