1985 Masters Tournament Final Round Broadcast

Watch the complete final round broadcast of the 1985 Masters. Bernhard Langer becomes the third international Masters champion, finishing two strokes clear of Seve Ballesteros, Raymond Floyd, and Curtis Strange.

[@mrraffles2050]

Many thanks for posting this. As a life long fan of Bernhard Langer (and The Masters), this was a real treat and the first time I've seen the complete final round. I didn't know Strange had shot an opening round 80 - that would have been an amazing and legendary win if he had held on. It's interesting to see that Langer's pre-shot routine is completely identical some 33 years later on the senior tour . . . two slow practice swings, stand behind the ball, address and swing. Nothing has changed.

I like how the honorary starters used to play the entire first hole.

[@jeffmooney5884]

1:09:25: "Pat, I can hear you!" Raymond Floyd underneath of Pat Summerall's tower 😆

[@timcross2510]

Whatching this withJack Nicholas as a "senior commentator " makes his victory ,one year later, legendary!

[@corymcewen5943]

As a PGA Club Professional of 58 years of age this is in my time period of being young. IT'S INCREDIBLE how slow those greens are compared to today's standards and how short the holes are. Number 7 was 360 to 400 yards now it's 440 - 450 yards.

[@craigbarron3706]

When you have clubs like dinner plates, something has to change......Imagine today's youngsters trying to hit the clubs we had to use.....Fresh air swings all round!!!

Aye, doesn't know there is 3 other majors of which many golfers deem higher than the masters.......playing up to the masters committee

He was awful

[@johnfury6481]

Indeed and a shaky Pat Summerall doesn’t help either. Tom Weiskopf is rather enjoyable though.

[@jeremydavidson9194]

He was fine. His job was to set the scene. To make sure the audience knows the value of the upcoming shot. He did that very well.

[@kepler240]

1:24:24 Fred Couples wasn't too happy judging by what he said

The last Masters for Frank Glieber as he died from an apparent heart attack on May 1st of that year. One of the great commentators in Masters broadcasts.

[@barath4545]

Well that tournament Langer won at age 64? ... He entered it when he was 48! I'll show myself out :)

[@seanscott7070]

Germans aren't known for winning by attrition, so he's going against type.

[@guydixon231]

RIP Tom Weiskopf.

[@wildernessuk]

Great moment on 18th after finishing. Seve giving words of support. Probably saying he’s got this in the bag. But great camaraderie and sportsmanship

[@MrAJR76]

He said “I’m pleased for you. You’ve won it for Europe”. (as per Dudley Doust’s 1986 book on Seve).

[@ptrekboxbreaks5198]

Dude I absolutely love how much the caddies got into it. You dont see it as much in today's games. Yea they get excited but at 12 minutes when Nicklaus made that putt, the dude was jumping up and down with joy

[@andrewrobinson8305]

Yeah dude!

[@stanlee399]

Ptrek i just saw a show when the old days all the players had to use a club caddie. Big deal for them paywise$, and some major excitement, fun betting, and a matter of pride regards who did best At some point early 80s maybe ? It changed to players could bring their own caddy.

[@guydixon231]

Ray Floyd looked like he was distracted by the commentators as he tried to play his 3rd shot on 9 which was followed by quite a long silence.

[@kepler240]

59:27 Rainbow Man very rudely pushed his way in front of the woman in green so he could get a spot on TV and 59:55 did it to the guy in blue...looking directly at the monitor. 1:22:30 he's there leaning on the rope. Interesting to watch how he always finds a way to get on camera.

A little foreshadowing of what Jack would do a year later ...

[@BimboBrunch]

Weiskopf with another genius call on Curtis Strange's going for it on 13. He made a legendary call on Nicklaus's hole 16 shot at the 86 Masters, as well. Bravo, Tom, and rest in peace.

[@BillSloan-o1c]

I think Nantz was at 16 in 86. Venturi the best

[@joeboo629]

Strange made a big comback from that opening round.He showed that he had what it takes to win a major.

What, hitting it into the water twice? Aiming at ponds doesn’t normally bag you one of the grand slam events.

[@andrewrobinson8305]

I know, and he was a great player with great nerves (in his prime). But this tournament wasn’t the best example of that.

[@perserverance333]

Where are all the annoying screams after each shot? Somewhere along the line, fans became obnoxious...not all of COURSE.

[@aprillovesgolf7042]

"Curtiss with some new equipment that he says has changed the game around"......ummmmmm.....I'm shooting 85 on Friday and 95 on Saturday, so.....it's not the equipment. .... it's the 6 inches between my ears. 40 years later.

[@guydixon231]

Incredibly fast play from Strange and Floyd from holes 10 holes to 11. Playing approaches at both greens within a few minutes of each other. Very impressive.

[@klamsauce233]

If you set the playback speed to 0.25 you can actually see a blur moving from the 11th tee up the 11th fairway. That's Floyd. He wasn't even out of breath during the approach shot.

[@loverofgolf]

Watching this reminds me just how unlikeable Curtis Strange actually was. Looks like he's in a constant state of constipation.

[@davidlargen31]

Only if Curtis had laid up on 13 and 15...

[@seanscott7070]

I can't believe that he tempted fate again on 15, after already getting one wet on 13.

The first time I taped a Masters and I must have watched it 50 times. Been a long time though. For two and a half rounds, Curtis Strange was the best-ever player at Augusta. Wish they would have given us one Travelers commercial for kicks and grins.

[@blakenorman4822]

Wish i would have been paying attention back then, didnt start watching till few years later, was cool seeing Snead and Sarazen actually playing walking down the fairway after their tee shots

[@johnnyparker9928]

26:28 Floyd cleans debris away then picks a spot and returns to pluck grass on skirt to assist his alignment. Smooth brilliant, but still could be questionable tactics some never noticed.

[@andrewrobinson8305]

“….pluck grass on skirt to assist alignment”. I literally have no idea what you’re trying to say here.

[@richmartin1427]

Just rewatching this tournament. I have never seen the pin on 2 on the left on Sunday. Usual Sunday pin Is on the far right.

[@slayerde440]

Lol this was the year the field cried about the greens being too fast. They're not even close to what they are today.

[@MrAJR76]

No, that was 1988 when they “cried” about the greens speed. Not 1985. And as I recall, it was only Fuzzy Zoeller who was critical. Crenshaw, Floyd & others defended the fast greens as Augusta’s only defence.

[@slayerde440]

@Justin Foard faster. MUCH faster

[@seanscott7070]

Musberger did have one funny and poingnant moment. While sitting in Butler cabin with Nicklaus, and Weiskopf, he said how if Nicklaus couldn't win, that it was nice to see a German win. As they're all of German descent. Nicklaus, Weiskoph, Musberger, and Langer.

[@carloslugo4526]

They didn't show Curtis strange Bogey on 10. Floyd birdie on 10 either.

[@davidjackson7051]

Thay had the most ideal conditions to play a final round that was a awesome masters tournament 1985 of course any masters is awesome thanks to the vision of Bobby Jones❤😊

[@seanscott7070]

It's obvious that Nicklaus is somewhat distracted and he's thinking what he could have done differently, and he truly thinks he let this one get away. He'd put it all together, one last time the following year, and Langer would be putting the Green Jacket on Nicklaus, which is still the record for most wins with 6.

[@Rawkers55]

Clive Clark who announced on 16th hole was on course reporter for BBC golf coverage, he would be cued in by Peter Alliss with the never forgotten "how's the ball lying Clive?"

By the old way of tallying, ergo counting the Amateurs, as well Nicklaus has 20, and Woods has 18..I for one believe that the Amateurs should be counted.

@@seanscott7070 AGREED. But it is too late now. It should have a 3 year PGA tour exemption for the winner.

[@aprillovesgolf7042]

@snag66 He may have evolved to be more frustrated towards the media, but back then, he was a very young man, and his poise was as stellar as his game. The older guys had poor manners, and enough peer support to be blatant and crude publicly. They lost out in many ways, but with endorsements and payouts, they've been rewarded for "protecting golf".
