An important video for the golf aficionado. Before RUclips came about, Weiskopf's 1973 win almost had mystery religious mystical qualities. What a swing.
-12 in that kind of weather is incredible. Not to mention the vast differences in equipment between then and now. For being a well-known nearly-man, Weiskopf sure got his big W in convincing fashion.
Prior to my recent binge watching of all the old Masters & Open Championships. I wasn't all too familiar with Mr. Weiskopf... But in the process of watching them. And seeing the amount of runner-up finishes by Tom. I've developed a level of fondness for him. And despite my rooting interest for Jack Nicklaus. I was very pleased to see Tom Weiskopf come out on top this Open Championship! In another era he may have won a half dozen, or more Majors?! But at least he won this major at such a prestigious Open venue Royal Troon. RIP 🙏
It's a common tale in pro golf that there are good golfers and then there's GREAT golfers. Weiskopf had the tail end of Arnold Palmer and the prime of Gary Player, Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklaus to deal with. The fact he was able to win once is an accomplishment
If you were to pick a golf hero out of central casting, it would be Weiskopf. He had the looks, the graceful stride, the awk shucks smile, and the most gorgeous swing. Pity this was the only one.
In another era Mr. Weiskopf may have won a half dozen, or more majors?! Many close calls & runner-up finishes to Jack Nicklaus. Was such an amazing golfer!
RIP golfing legend. Great player, architect and historian.

Only saw Weiskoff play once, around 1980 at Riviera. I’m 6’4” so he was a favorite of mine. His swing was amazing to watch and god he could rip it
Probably a year earlier there I watched him hit a bucket of drivers on the range. Just astounding.
RIP Tom Weiskopf (November 9, 1942 - August 20, 2022)

If he won that 75 masters he would have won to more majors no doubt! RIP TOMMY 👍⛳

Thx for sharing !!!
Commentary is like listening to 'Watch With Mother'!!
Gene Sarazen announces his retirement and hits a hole in one. That's going in style lol
Is that a young Peter Allis commentating?
How great was that when they came out of the clubhouse!!!
Peter allis rip.Miller should have won more than 2 majors with his talent.
Yes indeed, he had 4/5 years when he seem to be in contention for everything and in the mid 70s was the heir apparent to Nicklaus
No doubt about that my friend
Great to see no baseball caps permanently glued to the head, unlike today.
Ever see Trevino or Casper play without a hat? And there were many others.
i've birdied every hole round troon. jus' sayin'.
Obviously during the same round. ?? 😀
Airplane
The current tour would cancel the round do to this rain
No they wouldn’t.
The sable match wessely post because beauty marginally copy near a right snow. bawdy, industrious thread
It cannot be the official film if it says the British Open, which is no such thing.
British open clown
Well it is. And it only says "The Open" so...
5,500 pounds for winning The Open. How things have changed.
