Great work, as always, but for the record Watson hit 8 iron at Turnberry (if he'd had Alfie on the bag on that occasion as in '77 the masterful bagsman would have talked him into 9!).
The head to head between Seve and Watson down the stretch at St Andrews in 1984, was a truly memorable Open, held on an Old Course of unadulterated baked fairways, with fast and running links golf. The final climax of Seve's final putt on 18, with iconic celebration, whilst Watson was humbled behind the back of the road hole green on 17
Marvellous memories
Tom Watsons five at the last broke a million hearts

Ahhh! Darn…thank you!

Yes, classic golf. They don't build players like that any more!
Well said
A magnificent piece that sparkles from beginning to end. Thanks so much for reviving fading memories.
Always a pleasure to read your take on things…
