My U.S. Open: Andy North (1978)

Two-time U.S. Open champion Andy North recounts his stellar performance in 1978 at Cherry Hills Country Club. North's steady play in challenging conditions allowed him to climb a star-studded leader board, besting legends such as Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros and Hale Irwin for his first major title.

What a great piece. These are so fun. Love to see more.

[@usga]

More to come!

It's so cool to look back at these old videos. I guarantee you 90% of the golfers on the planet don't know that Andy won 2 us opens. Brilliant broadcaster as well. Shame he had medical issues

[@COLETHORN10]

Andy won the Open in 1985 as T.C. Chen totally choked and gave the tournment away.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

​@@COLETHORN10 No, he won because he had the lowest score. No one handed it to him--he earned it. He bested the field.

[@billenright2788]

Andy always looked like he was having a root-canal done. He was a tough hombre for sure. Felt sorry for 'ol TripleChipChen in AN's 2nd Open. Andy is quite tall and had a really elegant swing when he was on. Looked like he borrowed his putter from his kid. ;)

These videos are pure gold. Thanks.

Being born and raised in Wisconsin, I’ve always had great respect for Andy North, and still do!

[@kentmontgomery7776]

I remember watching this that summer .. Such a great piece and memory …

[@andyw2001]

What a high quality human being……respect x

[@user-mw8nf6om5g]

Got to see all my heroes except Palmer who missed the cut. Saw Bobby Nichols hit a shot of the rough and stop it on the green amazing. Saw Miller and Ballesteros feuding with each other. Saw ChI Chi and his golf tees matched his hat and shoes! Player was the hottest man in the world that Spring and finished second. Walked right in front of me and I would not believe how small he was. Watson and Trevino small too! The 10th hole looked to be a mile long to me! What memories from my old home town.

One of the tours all time truly good guys...and one hell of a great player

[@COLETHORN10]

North is a jerk who bad mouthed a playing partner telling him he didnt belong

[@jaydee5447]

@@COLETHORN10 then the playing partner probably didn’t belong if North actually said that.

[@user-mw8nf6om5g]

I was there!!

[@gerthie]

Brilliant

[@heybuh007]

Well played

[@andyr359]

Such a better human being and commentator then Brandel

[@sappermade6012]

Smart w not changing the meals

[@christopherdelgaudio9484]

Andy north got lucky.not once but twice!!

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

BS--he beat everyone in the field. Obviously, you were never a competitor.

[@richlewis1879]

He smoked Nicklaus in the 3rd round. Not easy to do

[@christopherdelgaudio9484]

Wow big deal!!!

[@COLETHORN10]

Andy is a total jerk who told a first time U.S. Open player that he was a loser and should'nt be playing the tournament as he was not good enough.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Who was this?

[@swiftbobber]

He choked on the lob.
