1983 Masters Tournament Final Round Broadcast

Watching Seve hit a golf ball is one of the great wonders of the world, whether lashing a drive with his Persimmon or delicately chipping the ball with his magic hands.

I followed him for all 18 during the Wednesday practice round at The Olympic Club, 1987. He was in fine form, finished 3rd. It was easy to get up close to the players he was gracious but working and signed a nice autograph for me. Funny story, he was waiting to get to the next tee and mobbed by ladies and one of them turned from Seve and asked his 21 year old playing partner for his autograph instead. A 21 year old Jose Maria Olazabal blushed beet red and stammered like a school boy. Both fine gentlemen and a credit to the game.

What an absolute legend...put the ball wherever you want...seve will find a way to get it on the green...the pure imagination and raw talent was mind blowing...didn't deserve to go so soon, think how much more could have learned from him, rest in piece seve, you'll be talked about for as long as the game exists

What an artist Seve was. He started young and was pretty much done at 31 yrs. old. Great on open/links style courses but he never really contended in the Us Open or PGA due to his erratic driving. His last major in '88 was magic.

40 years later, Jon Rahm win The Masters. Seve proud this in the heaven!

Still missed, he was a maverick, an outsider somewhat, did his own thing, had a tremendous will to win. RIP Seve.

To quote a neighbour I know called Christine “the amount of people Seve must of inspired to get on that pitch and putt is incredible, beautiful v neck pull overs every colour under the sun” what a player he was I may not have been around to see him play myself but looking back on videos you can tell he was a special player

My junior year of H.S .. skipped class that Monday to play 18 holes ... then came home and caught the end of the Masters .. remember that chip in like it was yesterday ... all my heroes .. thank you Augusta !

The commentators on the 18th “Seve isn’t looking to be making this chip”. Seve... “Hold my beer”.

Ben Crenshaw described Seve perfectly.

What an incredible golfer Seve was. Severiano por siempre recordado.

Crenshaw commenting on Seve was spot on. Seve was a special player who inspired this Mississippi boy more than any other professional golfer. Only the fondest of memories remain.

Still can't believe seve has passed.....what a genius he was, would have been great seeing seve in the BBC, sky and cbs pundits box!

That intro song is something else.

Magic in the last hole. Grande Seve !!!

how legendary that they have coverage of this. masters coverage is the best in broadcasting!

For all practical purposes, this Masters was decided after the fourth hole in the final round, thanks to perhaps the greatest clutch start in Masters history, Seve's birdie-eagle-par-birdie start that took him from one behind third round co-leaders Ray Floyd and Craig Stadler to three, and then four ahead of the field. After that, only Tom Watson ever got to within two strokes of Ballesteros before he fell back, with the final nail in the coffin being Watson's double bogey on the 14th. In fact, Seve coasted to a four-shot win despite not making a single birdie on the back nine, on which he carded a 2-over par 38. He was that firmly in control of the tournament after his 3-3-4-2 start in that Monday finale.

Met him at the practice round at Monte Carlo…..I said nothing and he looked at me and said how are you doing…..legs went like jelly….wow people sometimes talk about who they would most like to dinner with………..,seve. Love him miss him

Passed away too young gentleman legend.

Seve at his best in his prime, is the greatest golfer ever. When Seve died they asked Tiger Woods to describe how he felt about Seve, he said one word “GENIUS”
