As a post-script the video should state: "As an organization, we kinda tried to screw him over, but public outcry (and the fact that Ouimet was a solid bloke) made us reverse course and recognize him as the legend he was. In return, Ouiment (again being a solid bloke) never held it against us...what a guy."
@@romancandle416 Continuing that line of thought, doesn't everyone have African ancestry going back thousands of years? He was born and raised in US, so just say he is American. He got a shot to play since he was in US rather than in Europe. His genetics are less relevant than the opportunity he had being in US.
We should make all PGA players wear long sleeve shirts and a Tie,so who was the first to wear a short sleeve collar shirt...back then some rolled up there long sleeves I notice
This story never gets old. A timeless victory! 👏👏👏👏👏👍
Go by The Country Club on any Friday evening and you can still hear the cheers for Francis.
The greatest game ever played. ⛳ 🏌️♂️
Watch The Greatest Game Ever Played if you haven't seen it already. Great movie!
I Watch it ever year!
It is a good movie but the book its based on is better. Disney changed a few details to make it more appealing to viewers.
I must confess I haven’t seen the movie but I read the book. It was a page turner. Well written and one of the best books I’ve ever read.
Greatest sports victory of all time

For real
Big time, Ouimet maintained class the entire time.
If you think about it, if it hadn’t been for Francis Ouimet, there may never have been Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods
Damn !!! They couldn’t make this longer, but great content
only got so many pictures breh

It takes a Frenchie to beat a couple of Brits at their sport! It was great for the golf game in the USA!

Awesome!
The first U.S. Open was played in 1895. The first American to win it was John McDermott in 1911. Every Open prior was won by a Brit.
Wow.
Beautiful beautiful
this looks so inspiring
They made an excellent movie about it.
It's called 'The Greatest Game Ever Played'.
There's a copy on RUclips I believe.
