Seve birdies all the par 3's except the first one he played but still struggles with his driving demons and his chipping game goes south.
However, Els the then current US Open Champion, plays majestically in this classic head to head but cannot wriggle free until the 35th hole. Youth triumphs over experience this time.
I was always sad that Seve did not go through to play his comadre, Jose Maria Olazabal, in the next round. What a match that might have been!
Seve goes onto to play in his last Ryder Cup in the USA in 1995 and 'The match' against Tom Lehman in the singles.
