What was your favourite memory from the 1988 Open Championship?

[@incitatusdelaruinalparaiso3166]

My favourite memory was when I heard the news of Seve´s victory because i did not watch the broadcasting. But that was the best golf feeling those days.

[@martysykes3221]

Little did anyone know that this would be Seve’s last major. He came close one or two other times. In his prime, I don’t think he had an equal. He was so interesting to watch and what a short game!

[@maxderbomber]

Full final round please

[@barrywom2038]

Put final round on please

[@victormorillo3896]

Such a beautiful player. I’ve spent countless hours watching him play, he did it with such a fierce determination with a style of his own. Hard to imagine he’s gone.

Couldn't have said that better

[@tonywilliams3896]

We need another Open at Lytham, it’s been too long. Great to see Seve firing on all cylinders 👏🏻

[@richardharrison848]

Agreed - RandA too greedy though.

Lytham gets a lot of hate but I personally think it's underrated

[@jamesthain980]

Could have been great if you'd used final round footage and not spliced together a handful of shots from the Open '88 highlight vid. Put in the effort.

[@dgw1970]

I was there and Seve was my childhood hero. I was convinced that he won it for me. But then everyone thought that. I was 18 years old then and an aspiring golfer. In the end, despite talent, I chose an education. I'll never forget that day and I sat all day in the grandstand waiting for that moment.

A magician

[@SiLoMixMaster]

Seve was good at golf

[@martysykes3221]

I miss this era of golf. Watching golf today is just not the same.
