I was there beneath the tree, standing at the side of the 18th green. I was stood at the front with a pair of binoculars in hand calling the shot in to those around me… and we were all dead level (pin high) with the flag! You just had to be there to really appreciate it.
A magic moment in time that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Still brings a tear of joy to my eye when I see this clip!

Apparently , before the shot ,Tony Jacklin said to him …” just one more good swing for Ireland “….

I stood on the bridge as young Ulsterman and young Spaniard and old Irishman and old Spaniard held their nerve to pile on the points. Wonderful memory - all time great shot.
