Seve Ballesteros | Five Of The Best Open Shots 

RIP Seve ... such charisma! A talented golfer who was adored around the world and certainly here in the UK.. not many foreign nationals leave their mark with the British people, only the very special ones do and Seve was certainly that. My dad's favourite golfer of all time (rip dad) 🙏

When Seve smiled, the whole world smiled, when Seve frowned we all looked at our feet.

I always get emotional when I see videos of the grand senior, Seve. He’s my sporting idol. The way he played golf with that cavalier attitude is why everyone loved him. He was so wayward at times but still won tournaments, including majors, because he went for it. His short game was the best ever imo, including Phil. As Nick Price said, most pros have 100 ways to shoot 68. Seve had 1000 ways. His depth of skill was unmatched when he was in his pomp. That win at the 89 open-his final round was the best his great rival Faldo ever saw apparently. Not to mention his match play dominance at Wentworth and The Ryder Cup. He was amazing and when I have a club in my hand he always pops in my head. Via con Dios Seve

It doesn’t matter who there is to watch, no one can replace Seve.

what a player and we will never see the likes of seve again

Seve at his best is the greatest golfer ever 👏👏👏

Managed to bump into Seve at the 2005 Open. Gave me his autograph and chatted or a few minutes. A special memory.

He possessed a short game others can only dream about. The most amazing hands I’ve ever seen.

Un hombre de pueblo, en el Olimpo de los dioses. Gracias Seve, un saludo desde tú Tierruca.🏌️🏌️🏌️💫💫💫💫👏👏👏

What a man, what a player. His mark on The Ryder Cup will never diminish.

Still my sporting idol along with Johan Cruyff the football player. I was lucky enough to watch Seve play from very close by during an exhibition match at golfclub De Pan in The Netherlands. I'll never forget the way he hit his short irons and wedge shots. Pure magic, grace and beauty.

last one still gives me chills rip great man

Always such a pleasant character on the golf course. A great golfer, without a doubt one of the best of all time. So sad to loose him much too early. R.I.P Seve

What a wonderful man seve was. Sorely missed from the game of golf.

I was there as a kid with number 5, standing right in line as he played the ball between the bunkers at Birkdale. Great memories. Ballesteros and Trevino - who won The Open at Birkdale were always my golfing heroes. Still are tbf.

A true gentleman of the sport and a smile to match! Missed dearly for sure. ❤️

Dont seem to have golfers like him, some form of character that you love and inspires to make you want play, we seem to lack that pure passion that him and others had back then

Everyone talks about his unworldly short game but I always thought he had the most graceful golf swing I've ever seen.

Amazing Seve! We miss you as golfer and true human being.

Thank you Open Golf for such a wonderful video of the greatest Artist of golf and he provided greatest moment of the Open in the televised era Seve the troubadour of golf on the 18 th St Andrew's Will we ever see his likes again: no At least we have this wonderful film When is his statue being erected overlooking the 18 th next to his soul brother Young Tom Morris either side of the greatest golfer ever Jack Nicklaus A Calvary Hill of golf? It can't be because as the greatest Amatuer must join this parade of the greatest So every golfer can pay homage to them Steve

In 2 days we'll remember you passed away,Seve....I'm so sad when I see your videos... May you rest in peace 💔🙏

No 4 is the most beautiful swing I've ever seen.

Cracking video. So many happy memories. What a player, what a man!!

I ran across the fairway at one of the irish opens and shook hands with seve i did not wash my hands for 3 weeks think i was age 13.? Am 75 now and still playing golf . He was such an inspiration ! Tks seve you touched the lives of so many people you will never be forgotten god bless you pauline sweeney ireland

What I miss about that era was that it emphasised creativity. The variety of shots Seve played, especially round the green made us all try the unusual shots we wouldn’t have dreamt of. For many it wasn’t the best way to a low score because we didn’t have his skill but it brought a new dynamic to the game. I still love the short game most of all and it’s all down to Seve. A hero to many of us.

Aah memories memories. What a player!!!!

I remember him in... 1976, at Waterloo. He just was 19 and already had such a charism! Among other things, he played so *original* shots, recovering from incredible situations that he obviously lifted crowds.

I grew up idolising Seve. He inspired all of us to try to invent shots round the green. He had the greatest hands of any golfer I’ve seen. Great era and a great man. Still inspiring European golfers.

Admired him that much. I had his foundation emblem tattooed on my arm! Legend!

Seve the goat 🐐 great golfer and personality. Gone to soon rip

A true legend!

The last one. Smiles and chills. Legend.

His gait when he was in the thick of it is just awesome.

Que Grande SEVE, que GRANDE, siempre en el recuerdo 💪 FOR EVER

Love this man

1976年セントラルGCの日本オープンで見ました。練習場で凄まじい球を打ってました。近くでみたらアイアンでした(多分ﾄﾞﾗｲﾋﾞﾝｸﾞiron)翌年から日本オープン三連覇。華麗なスイングで小技も素晴らしかった。天才は余りにも早く逝ってしまいました💐

The best and much missed.

4:17 it looks like a mirror image/reflection, especially when they both reach down at the same time. Haha

Elmajor golfista del munde. My hero for eternal.

What a hero to aspire to eh? The handsome, swashbuckling maestro who played shots no one had even tried to imagine before…tragic loss for his family and the world of golf!

Legend

Glorious

The best ever

In 1984 he hit a 3 iron at the par 5 6th, I think, off a very tight downhill lie onto the green. Lee Trevino called out "Touch of class baby" It's one of the greatest shots you could ever see

Thanks for the memories Seve baby we love you

Never better !!

Seve ole! What player he was! I watched him live on european tour with other major champions like Langer, woosnam, Lyle, Faldo, couples... That was a golden time for the European tour. Today all goes to USA.

In terms of creativity and being innovative in tricky situations Seve was the best…

Had a unique way of chipping the ball soo effective. R.I.P

Nobody better 👍

Followed Seve around Torrey Pines and he 'stalked' the course, so aggressive, fun to see.

I remember the last one well; a great putt he made, to win at St Andrews, when he was battling Tom Watson the last few holes

A pure ledgend....

His best shot of all time was when he played off a flint wall at St. Pierre, over a bunker onto the green. Shot in a million

Such a shame we lost him so young. 😞

Love the old way of taking a drop.

Gotta love the days when you could park right off the fairway lol

The best golfer of all time, everyone copied him after

I think the chip on 18 to win the 88 Open was by far his best shot, noting the difficulty of the shot and the execution under max pressure.

#BBCSPORTS WILD TEESHOT 🇪🇸 🇬🇧

The most gifted hands in professional golf! It’s almost as if he couldn’t focus unless his back was against the wall

F------------ genius ❤️✊

The 1st shot in between the bunkers..the crowd made a "uuuu" as he missed it probably expecting a kind of flop shot from there ..only Seve could imagine and perform such rolling shot under pressure.

If not for his bad back he would’ve won many more. But anyway the king of the Ryder cup. I am over 60 and he was the best I ever saw. Top man and all the women fancied him!!

#BBCSPORTS BALLESTEROS GOLFMANIA 🇪🇸

Great method to viralize contents.

#BBCSPORTS BALLESTEROS OPEN SHOTS 🇪🇸

That celebration tho

I remember seeing him at the Scottish Open in the 80s I believe he had done a deal with an aftershave brand it was about to launch ( I won’t name it ) Seve must have bathed in the stuff you could smell him all over the course. What a healthy looking man he was such a tragedy he passed away so young.

The Gladiator

awww man 😿

Nice video shows methods to create a business..

God made that putt drop ❤

Those cars weren’t that far off line. All the car park champion jibes were pretty unfair.

Only two sportsmen who have died that have affected my emotions on a grand scale..Seve and Shane Warne. Worse with Warne because it was so sudden and unexpected.

Ce qui est le plus remarquable, c'est à quel point c'était mal filmé 😅

Let us imagine he had today's technology....

A cut above Tiger Woods.

I guess I get the love for Seve, I just gotta say that as a golfer for most of my nearly 50 years these shots dont seem that amazing and I'll add that I see these types of up and downs all day long on tour.

Bullfighter.

4:43 bouncing noob!

Is this the original fist pump?

The most charismatic golfer of all time, sadly, not a great deal of competition, as yanks & Faldo have none
