Nick Price had a MOUSTACHE in the early 1980s??!? ...On a more serious note, this one feels like the most "It's the Open" Open of them all, or close to it. Clampett, Lyle and Price were all young at the time, enjoying it early on but once the cracks begin to show up, they crumbled so much quicker. Experience REALLY counts in this tournament! Watson's approach to #11 was MONEY. Made it look so easy.

Had a few words with tom back in the day.Such a gracious lovely man.But for that shot on the last hole hitting the downslope he would have had 6 opens.Not meant to be.

6 times player of the year an amazing 46 top 10s in majors. But confidence and family sometimes mess with you. 1984 open was the end of tom watson at his best. He was going for 6th open but messed up 17th th hole on final rd and lost. He had 2 young children which caused him to cut schedule . No one thought watson at age 34 would never win another major. His short putts missed was sad to see

Catching up on these old major clips, i started to notice that headgears, be it american styled caps or even traditional flatcaps, were not quite a norm or a must-wear, back then in the 80s.

Happy days when we had proper summers,no jockey caps,well cut trousers,no "mashed potato" or "In the hole",polite and respectful applause and golf as it was meant to be played with 450 yard par-4's offering a challenge not a drive and wedge. Willie Whitelaw couldn't watch because he was still pissed from lunchtime ....

Proper summers?! The 1980s had some horrible summers - four in row in fact, from ‘85 to ‘88 (inclusive). Summers are much better nowadays.

@@andrewrobinson8305 Where did I say that we had better summers? I wrote 'proper summers' deliberately because seasonal changes were still evident,spring,summer,autumn,winter were distinctly different,golf courses were commonly closed for weeks on end due to snow and frost whereas the trend now is for milder,wetter winters. Try to comment on what was written not your interpretation of what you think was said.

With the greatest of respect Chris, you’re so stuck in the past it’s unbelievable. Your rose-tinted nostalgia seems to know no bounds! Everything wasn’t better in “the good old days”. It’s just that we’re happier & more optimistic when we’re young, and more grumpy & cynical when we get older. Every generation since the dawn of time says the old days were better. It’s an eternal and pretty tiresome human trait.

If you really think things are better now than 40 years ago you are entirely delusional,gender issues,woke issues,illegal immigration and a war in Europe,how is that better?

Tom Watson won the open at royal troon because price was inexperienced playing at a seaside golf links course. He did win 3 majors during his career but his losses to Watson and ballesteros gave him the chance to try again he was double uspga champion and the open atturnberry it was long overdue he won it at long last after 2 agonising fail
