Vintage Seve... What an AMAZING recovery from the BUSHES!

In 1991 the great Seve Ballesteros had a torrid time on the 16th at Royal Birkdale.
During what some might say in a calamitous turn of events the three-time Open champion found himself in the bushes looking to play himself out of trouble.
This a moment from The Open archives you won't want to miss!

Did anyone else notice that Seve was wearing two hats throughout all of this? The man was iconic in more ways than one.

[@Sham3214]

You could argue that not much happens in this 12 minutes.
The counter argument is that everything that epitomises Seve happens.
The famous two hats.
An 8 degree driver described by Alex Hay.
The push slice into the shrubbery.
The exasperation.
The wisecracks.
The vision to see the shot.
The impeccable colour contrasts with the Hugo Boss Polo shirt and Jumper.
Inspecting the ball before the drop.
A very young Billy Foster.
An all leather Slazenger Staff bag complete with wooden handle umbrella.
The jet fighter sound of the ball strike.
The chip.
The Tad Moore putter on Balata sound.
A truly great bogey.
Seve

a true genius, and a blessed gentle soul,

[@stevenhearnden6103]

Such a sad loss. 😢

[@munman87]

In an alternate universe i would have loved to see a presenter take seve, phile, tiger and harrington to difficult spots on the golf course and ask them how they would escape. Be a great youtube series or a featurette for open week

[@graememctweed6619]

Love a guy who wears 2 hats 👌🏻

[@mikejones-go8vz]

😂 visor and hat I think, does look odd though

[@m74796]

It's definitely gotta help to be able to take 11 minutes A shot

[@TheoHarrisGolf]

How did he do it!? The man was a genius

[@golfranda]

Hard to argue with that assessment.

[@Tigerwoods663]

That's me green masters cap red jacket right next to him when he hits it 😅😅

[@Edgar_Randolph]

You don't look very black there

[@CaribSurfKing1]

People forget how ridiculous Seve was at putting! It wasn’t just bush whacking?

[@throwingdartsandbreakinghearts]

I never understood peoples reluctance to move out of the way of players line.

[@salfordnick5336]

I was one of them 😂😂😂 91 birkdale second round

[@danielgermano3505]

Not from the bushes since he took relief.
