Seve Ballesteros won for the second time at Royal Lytham & St Annes, and the third time in all, but only after a thrilling final-round of 65 to beat Nick Price by two strokes.
Price had led by two from the Spaniard and defending Champion Golfer Nick Faldo, with all three playing in the same group.
All of them birdied the sixth but when the other two eagled the seventh and Faldo only parred, the Englishman drifted out of contention, finishing with a 71 in third place, six behind the winner. Price played the six holes from the sixth to the 11th in four-under but went from one ahead to one behind as Ballesteros had played them in six under.

I love how perfectly these Offical films capture the eras they were in, the intro here is so 80’s and the Jack Nicklaus 1970 Offical film has that classic 70’s era funk music and cut shots. Love it

Best short game ever lived...RIP Seve!!!
-
Seve’s 3 opens are probably the best 3 opens I’ve seen.
-
There will never be another Seve. For those of us lucky enough to have been able to watch him in his prime will never forget how truly great he was. RIP, great man!

Only God can know how many times I have watched this video, my mom bought this video in VHS tape when I was 10 years old, and honestly, I could watch this video as many time as hours has a day. This video has a great power, inspiration and motivation for any golfer.

The guy simply had it all, except more time. R.I.P. my favorite golfer.

I Love You Seve, Thanks For The Memories.

On a Monday in July I headed the 40 miles to Lytham to watch the delayed final round. A stella battle between Price, Faldo and of course the eventual winner Seve. A great spectacle and one of the most memorable days' sport I got to see in person. RIP Seve, the greatest.

What a match on the final day between Seve & Price! An incredible display of putting by Ballesteros. You have to feel for Nick Price. But at least he can take solace in knowing he was beaten by an all-time great. Love watching these old Open tournaments back!

Seve was the most talented and exciting player ever. He has everything, good looking, good swing, great smile, passion, a terrible fighter and competitor.

Thank you for posting this R&A. I’ve played golf for 33 years and this is the tournament that ignited my passion for the game. The reason? Seve. His chip on 18 was mesmerising; I was hooked at that point and have never looked back. Seve, my hero. RIP 💙

Ballesteros is and has always been the coolest squire on the course.
