Open Moments: The Final Round | Seve Ballesteros | 135th Open Championship

[@salfordnick5336]

Not going to lie, had a tear in my eye watching this. Seve is the reason I play golf, my idol as a kid. A genius, a true sporting icon and will forever be missed

[@lawrencewright2816]

An incredibly unique talent. Seve, the world is a poorer place without you. God bless your soul. Rest In Peace.

[@martysykes3221]

Normally, I have no problem expressing myself on a subject. In this case, my command of the English language is simply insufficient to explain how this video made me feel. RIP, great man. You were a hero to many!

[@doonsbury9656]

I do not believe that there was ever any other golfer who was so passionate about the game! Truly a legend!

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

Most charismatic naturally talented elegant and handsome golfer ever. The Elvis of Golf.

[@markusritter2165]

Seve was an iconic golfer and I will never ever forget the moment when he gave me his golf ball after the round at 1996 german Open in Stuttgart R.I.P. Seve ⛳️🍀

[@sduke39]

So wonderful to see Seve again. Thank you for uploading this.

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

What a swing!

[@notdrivingaminimetro]

Well that's me crying. Legend ❤

[@davidaparis1]

He was my golfing hero. So inspirational.

[@blehoo1]

Such a cruel injustice that this great sporting icon never got to enjoy all that appreciation as an older man. Loved so much and missed even more. May not have won as many majors as some but who cares...He had the natural ability married with the passion, the charisma and the looks. That's why he can never be bettered. Seve - the greatest

[@markjeffers4663]

The reason I started playing loved SEVE even got his ball at the Irish open at mount Juliet ... .it was unbelievable being so close to him he signed two programmes for me and gave like a hundred people autographs at the side of the 18th green. Absolutely a legend the only guy to stop with the fans too..... Genuinely a genius on the golf course such imagination and skill have his movie down stairs and can't watch it without crying even now.

[@MrLeftyno1]

Seve was the only golfer I just had to see in person, and he did not disapoint 1986 world matchplay great memories of a Legend ,RIP Seve.

[@richardhall4830]

I was there on pro am day, as my dad was playing in the pro am with Neil Coles. Seve was playing with the sponsors from Suntory and he had a bad cold. I was only 7 so I ran after him when he'd finished and tripped over grazing my knee. Seve turned around picked me up, patted me on the head and said "you ok", I was truly spell bound. My brother told me I'd been blessed by a golfing god.

[@MrLeftyno1]

@@richardhall4830 Great story and memorys, Richard, funnily enough Neil Coles was amazing to watch too such a simple swing, saw him at Woburn.

[@bkellyandroid]

Legends never die.

[@johnhighland2260]

Seve a word of a man ,that actually is a description of a tough sportsman, and real legend of golf ,a true great. My hero along with super mex Trevino how we could do with these true greats playing today.Fun ,excitement, skill,every time they played .Sadly lost 😥

[@pacorubiogolf]

Painful to watch in so many ways. What a legend of the game. A hero of Spain. Dios te guarde, Seve

[@DeadlyKiss000]

The all time Champ! In a thousand years time they will still be talking about him!!

[@FACELOWNER]

Just love the man, pure and simple.

[@Scotiron]

What a competitor...ferocious and full of fighting spirit. He added another dimension to the game and is why I became hooked...absolutely no doubt about that!!

[@philipcarthy2977]

Amazing man, absolute genius on the golf course,so sadly missed, taken far to young.

[@ja-ks8dh]

The player we all dreamed of being

[@eddiebrown687]

Couldn't have said it better....

[@davidfoster1762]

I disagree . The man we all dreamed of being. In so many ways.

[@tanginicholls207]

When golf was played by Legends, only Robots play now.

[@ImDannyKosmo]

Heartbreaking in a way. Great to see him tho. My favorite golfer ❤️

[@PilarGonzalez-fo6pq]

Siempre le recordamos, como un gran deportista y una excelente persona, por siempre Seve.💫🏌️💫🏌️

[@iiredeyeiiredeye1569]

One of my top 3 sportsmen of all time. Standing alongside Senna, and Ali. Could never choose a 1-2-3...because they all transcended sport, they became more important than their achievements within their sport. Seve was, and always will be an icon of the great game.

[@petergriffin133]

The greatest european player ever. It is sad to konw it was his last round at the Open. The most exciting player ever all around the world.

[@stevesj80]

Forever in my heart and mind 😢

[@davidbrooks187]

Seve is European golf. #LEGEND #ALLTIMEGREAT The player everyone wanted to emulate. Seve, Jack, Arnie Only one name needed.

[@PilarGonzalez-fo6pq]

Siempre lo recordaré como un gran deportista, y una excelente persona, por siempre Seve.🏌️💫💫💫💫👏👏

[@TheGingerPops1]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I was there that day on 16 when he almost chipped in. Great albeit emotional memories.

[@RobThomson-x8g]

A genius. No other word for it. Too often used these days but seve was a genius.

[@adamrasmussen1839]

That’s Javier on the bag 👍 Thanks for this!

[@ja-ks8dh]

The player the crowd wants to see. Genius.

[@markhayward7400]

Seve Ballesteros' greatest golfing gift was his imagination. He saw shots to play that others didn't then executed them in a way that other couldn't.

[@pierremartin9048]

Miss him dearly, God bless

[@royclose946]

Must have been a great honour to play with the greatest golfer who ever lived ❤😊

[@MrBriangold]

I was there that day. My dad and I followed him for several holes. It was memorable but for a sad reason. We witnessed a strange event on two separate holes where he did the same thing: I think one of his playing partners was Ian Poulter and Seve's approach shot to the green was short by about 15 yards. He briskly marched up to the ball, selected his club and addressed it ready to play when his caddie (son), Ian's caddie and Ian himself all shouted to him to wait... Ian was still back in the middle of the fairway waiting to play his own approach shot but couldn't because Seve had marched into his path! It was strange and we both felt something was wrong. He was entirely focused on his game of course but his unawareness of his playing partner's position was a noticeable feature. Of course he apologised and stood back so Ian could play to the green. The second time it happened Ian was visibly frustrated s perhaps he'd done it on more than one hole, I don't know as we only followed him for about 4-5 holes. His legacy is unsurpassed in an era when golf was more elitist than it is today. IMO he brought flamboyance, flair and style to the game. RIP

[@Blasphemism]

I’m going to watch more videos featuring Ballesteros. My golf buddy speaks about him in glowing terms.

[@Seve007]

Just my all time hero.

[@susanmohammadi8908]

Saw him in 1976 when he played at Royal Birkdale, my school backed into the golf course, love at first sight

[@danielscott7278]

Wouldn't we all just give anything to have seve back for one day. God rest his soul

[@anthonymclaughlin608]

Good to see him back in the mix

[@petercavellini3232]

You can see in his Eyes the love for the game and, like an addiction, he want to play Golf forever.😎

[@scottblanton5220]

Seves back was gone by this time, playing with pure heart and determination

[@Wheyan]

And a brain tumor as well that had not yet been discovered.

[@davidbrooks187]

Seve’s back went in the early 90s and he was never the same. On his day Seve was the greatest.

[@niguel4438]

Still very much missed Seve. RIP

[@Mpayne1472]

I followed him round Wentworth once. What a player

[@FF04RDF]

The iron swing had a beautiful tempo to it. The turn / turn rhythm is just fantastic.

[@thetruth1167]

What does the 11 mean on his hat?

[@il-lupo]

Javier on the bag, not Baldomero... just for the record. If only we could have Seve back, if only. 😥

[@ja-ks8dh]

We will never see his likes again

[@Mariano-h3r]

Seve Ballesteros golfista de raza, golf EXCITANTE. Un GENIO.

[@richdiana3663]

I was a plus 2 in my prime and I lost my game completely in the space of 2 months. Turned out I had my left wrist detach at the ulna bone and at impact I had no control over the club face. I was 52 and now at 71 I still love the game but I can't go out and hack it around, no fun. I can relate to Seve's last years in the game. He was such a star in his prime.

[@ianb1813]

The last few seconds when Seve and Poulter shook hands HAS to be where the Ryder Cup talisman baton was passed because Poulter became a Ryder Cup beast not long after

[@davidbrooks7623]

Poulter, nice guy that he is, is no Seve

[@ianb1813]

@@davidbrooks7623 didn't say he was, Poulter became a Ryder Cup talisman after Seve. Didn't say anything about who was better

[@EdnaMillion.]

Europe's greatest ever. Equipment changes did him no favours later in his career. He was majestic with a persimmon driver and a wizard with a blade putter. I wonder what young Poulter thought of playing with him, must have been an amazing feeling.

[@eddiebrown687]

Jack to me will always be the greatest player, but nobody ever had a presence like Seve on a golf course.

[@davidbrooks187]

Seve lives among the golfing gods like Jack & Arnie. First nane needed only 👍

[@SteveDavis-gc2pp]

If you were ever has the privilege to watch him play live you know there is no body in golf over the last 50 to touch his sheer charisma - If you had this opportunity you know what I mean

[@andrewparker8523]

The Greatest!!

[@robertcourt8593]

If Palmer was the king, seve must be a god!

[@BestEachDay]

Gone too soon and a great, great champion.

[@ja-ks8dh]

Did you hear the sound of the strike of their on shot on 6? Crisp

[@simonherts]

Sad to see how his swing had become strangled by his back problems. His whole action depended on fluidity of movement but it must have been wonderful to be there nonetheless. Just 5 years later we lost him. He was one of the few people in sport who could bring me to tears and emote such love from the crowd who had seen him triumph and win and lose. Seve - always in our hearts

[@rozanihamid4849]

The best ever in my book followed by Lee Trevino and TIger Woods😎

[@Z00Maddict]

Still had that presence. And looking sharp in the green and black.

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

I am really good at getting out of trouble on the course. Why? Because I did what Seve did, practiced hitting balls around trees, over bushes, out of crap lies, hitting from awkward stances etc. I thought if Seve does that to get better, I can do that as well. And the proof is last Sunday, I played with 3 mates. I am 60, next age was 47, then 31 and 29. My score was 84, next was 90, then 91 and 93. They all hit their drivers at least 30 metres past me. But my second shots were always better and I chipped and putted better. And that is the norm when I play. People hit longer than me, yet do not beat me. That is how you learn, watch the best and see how and what they practice.

[@jbsully2864]

He still had a great swing.

[@bmkbmk4469]

September 2024 ....taking up Golf after 20 yrs of not playing ....SEVE yr still an inspiration ⛳⛳⛳RIP⛳⛳⛳✝️

Seve suddenly looked very old in 2006. His eyes had changed. But the swagger and concentration were still there.
