This was the Open
when everything seemed to happen. |
00:00:26.880 - 00:00:30.851 |
On the second day,
the boy Ballesteros was now six under par. |
00:00:46.160 - 00:00:50.484 |
And led outright by two strokes. |
00:00:50.640 - 00:00:53.007 |
But, inevitably, the power of world golf
had begun to close in. |
00:00:58.640 - 00:01:03.521 |
Gary Player. |
00:01:03.680 - 00:01:05.330 |
Johnny Miller. |
00:01:05.480 - 00:01:07.084 |
Jack Nicklaus. |
00:01:07.240 - 00:01:08.765 |
Severiano Ballesteros,
only nineteen. |
00:01:10.840 - 00:01:14.811 |
Everyone enjoying him |
00:01:18.120 - 00:01:19.531 |
and waiting for him to vanish
from the leaderboard. |
00:01:19.720 - 00:01:23.122 |
I remember watching this 'boy'. |
00:01:23.880 - 00:01:27.009 |
I watched the way that he did things
and it was a little bit unique. |
00:01:27.160 - 00:01:32.200 |
Here was this young guy
flashing a ball, |
00:01:34.520 - 00:01:37.285 |
playing great recoveries
and holing the putts |
00:01:37.440 - 00:01:40.205 |
"This is a very special young man." |
00:01:40.360 - 00:01:44.524 |
We all thought, who the devil
is this young matador of the links? |
00:01:45.640 - 00:01:50.680 |
Straight in the middle. |
00:01:50.880 - 00:01:52.882 |
And of course his story was
quite extraordinary. |
00:01:53.040 - 00:01:56.886 |
My love was always playing golf. |
00:02:18.800 - 00:02:21.371 |
Apart from golf, nothing existed for me. |
00:02:22.800 - 00:02:25.531 |
Nothing. |
00:02:26.320 - 00:02:27.845 |
