Seve Ballesteros wins in St Andrews | The Open Official Film 1984 

What absolute exquisite beauty Seve brought to this ancient game. I grew up in St Andrews from my teenage years, with my dad obsessed with golf, so I remember my dad going on about Ballesteros; and in the end as an adult I moved to Santander, just across the bay from Pedrena where Ballesteros came from, donde nacio este talento eterno y mundial del golf. Que orgulloso y que contento estoy vivir aqui ahora, donde the airport se calleth the airoport of Seve Ballesteros, often I remember that. What a legend is now missed in the world, but forever remembered, from the bay of Santander to the West Sands in St Andrews, and what an incomparable talent he brought to the ancient game.

I had this Open on video, and I used to watch it over and over again. Seve is a legend

What a beautiful tournament.. Great Seve, rest in peace my dear Seve ❤️

He was magical. Also a very genuine person in daily life.

Always amazes me that the ball had just enough to slide into the hole. And Seve’s reaction…timeless.

These really were golfs greatest days. Is Seve really ten years gone? At his best he electrified crowds like nobody before or since.

The golden age of golf. Still had Nicklaus, Trevino, Player. Watson in his pomp, Langer, Norman, Faldo, Seve

What a great film. I love golf and the Open is the greatest major.

I love these old uploads! It's so fun to watch the legends of the game in their primes!

What a packed bunch of players Sev the legend

Seve had the best hands in the history of golf. What an artist!!!

The heritage of Golf is so incredible. We can all take part.

Forever St Andrews for true and knowledgeable golf fans will be Seve on the 18th in 1984. The Matador. Iconic.

I was working on the Brooks embankment on the course......well I wasn't exactly working more watching that, but I was there, what a sight. I didn't quite appreciate it like I do now. Fabulous to watch this back. My best memory was watching Nicholas walk up the 18th. I'll never forget that.

The most charasmatic golfer ever and the best ever winiing celebration in golf!

I Love You Seve, Thanks For The Memories.

Great to watch, the crowds were huge, super golf, and shows alot that these guys back then could really play. There is something about watching this thats sad, seve gone to golfs heavan, and it may just be me but this feels so much more pure golf. Nowadays the amounts of money are rediculous. There is just something about these years. Great video by the way. Peter allis away also. His commentary was a style all his own. Greats of the game sorely missed.

Seve had the magic touch around the greens. He's one of the best putters in golf.

Seve, what a guy and a golfer 🏌️‍♂️

Severiano un fenomeno ! un hombre a parte !

OMG thank you so much for the upload! more please :-))

Was there, remember chasing Watson after his drive at the 18th then we hit the Swilken burn ,my mate jumped it but my legs refused so had to wait in line to cross the bridge, we seen Seve coming out the back door of the club house later .

MASTER OF MASTERS.....

Seve's 6 iron to 17 was the winning shot

My fav golfer

Seve, the greatest genius of golf. There are no players like Couples, Norman, Langer, Watson, Faldo, etc., & Nicklaus, the best ever

So many shots you would never see today - epic viewing

Really enjoyed that . I was nervous, be he was too . Love seve

When golf was great

I have a set of blades Seve had, and to hit a 6 iron 200 yards with that smooth swing, I just can't my head around it.

My two favourite golfers of all time. Tom Watson and Seve Ballesteros. If golf was played every week on links courses, The other golfers wouldn't have stood a chance against those two..

Love it. Amazing

The commentator at 25 minutes 😂😂😂😂

Who would have thought Watson would never win another major watching this . Ironically it IMHO wasnt the infamous second shot on the 71st that did him it was the third round. went round in 66 and still missed 4 putts inside 6 ft. Was the best in the world from the Masters in 1977 until this tournament

Seve Nieto Santana los tres mosqueteros del deporte español

This reminds me of an 80’s movie ...

The 18th at St Andrews is the most iconic hole in golf

Thanks for convincing David Attenborough and friends to narrate this championship!

Okay, this is an extremely small gripe, but I couldn't help but notice at 4:28 instead of putting a 1 and a 0 in the two separate columns they've provided, they just stuck a 10 in the second column, and that's putting me on tilt for some reason. .....That aside, it's great to watch another Open from St. Andrews, and of course the wizardry of Seve is good for all occasions.

You really should take the winner out of the title. The added suspense would send the view of all your Open documentaries through the roof. Just include the names of the top 20 guys for video indexing #. I must admit however, that I'm very pleased with how far greenskeeping has come since the 80's.

Nobody sceaming "get in the hole!"

Seve What do you need to say? Spanish hands and an artist with a golf club.

At 26.41 seve is in front of a sign which reads SEARCH very apt as he did spend a fair amount of time searching for his ball .

46:47 La metí!

Love baker finch... a great guy always

Watson has described how the approach on 17 happened to be on the uphill side of a mound. So he felt he had to take the 2 iron

My foursome used to do golf trips for a long weekend and I would always buy a pair of bad golf pants like they're wearing here, plaid was always a hit.

No telemeters, no big drivers, iron shafts, just the game

I would pay a €1000 to know what was said between Trevino and Ballesteros during their round. You know those boys were going at it.

"La meti, la meti"

#BBCSPORTS BALLESTEROS GOLFMANIA 🇪🇸

I love Peter Alliss but why does he refer to Baker-Finch as 'young' every time?

The days when obese crass yanks didn’t shout out “mashed potato” and “in the hole.”

Watson easily could have wound up, with six or seven Opens

Wonder what lofts on clubs was in the day?(ie no marketing b***sh*t) great video......!!!

Mr Mckay off Porridge commentating ha ha

Premiere? This has been shown on Sky Sports Golf before, no?

rad

So so weird to see watson choke like that. Wtf is he doing hitting 2 iron from there? Lol
