Oh dude. Probably your greatest work yet. That time with Tom Watson, will live with you forever. Magnificent. Humbled. Thankyou.
Well said. To relive the final moments of the duel in the sun with the man himself. What a dream experience.
The Greatest documentary of the Greatest Game Ever. Man there is so much history, this is just a wonderful game
Oh my .. i had massive goosebumps and a little tear in my eyes during that Tom Watson part .. what a special moment for you, EAL.
Quick personal Story:
I`m getting 50 this Year in July and my Dream was to visit the 150th Open at St.Andrews as a Birthday Gift to myself.
But the Pandemic destroyed that Dream now.
Now i hope i can participate next Year ... fingers crossed to get some Tickets for that.
Stay safe and healthy and keep up the good Work.
I hope you made it ⛳️
I watched that Open, and as an Avid JackNicklaus 8 year old fan... I was devastated. What an absolutely fitting tribute to that Watson moment at 11:57 What a lovely man, a special moment for the interviewer, when he placed is arm around him, and walked off the green, as Jack did! What an ambassador for golf. Epic! Well done Mr Watson. Thats made my day!
Regards, Ewan (NZ)
Incredibly emotional. Thank you.
I really don't know much about the old players of golf, but the interview with Tom Watson caught me and i felt really emotional. So I've to say: great job Erik Anders Lang and the production team for the special flare and well brought history of golf, thanks ^^
In 1977 I was 23 and had been going to the Open since the mid 1960s. When Nicklaus was over his putt on the 18th, I was one of the solid mass of people at the front of the green, my only view level with the ball, through my cardboard perriscope. When Nicklaus's ball vanished it went from silence to such a roar I was shocked by it. To me the greatest moment in over 40 Opens.
That was great! Tom Watson, what class act, and a great champion of the game.
Another classy short from EAL, keep up the good work sir.
Another great piece from you Erik. Thanks!
Just a lovely video, thank you.
Wonderful, truly beautiful. Spent alot of time at St Andrews University, and you can feel the history when you're there.... This is so well done, really enjoyed watching it
Thank you for sharing the truly excellent work you do Erik. Great to see Tom Watson, one of my all time favourite players
Superb once more Erik 👌👏 best golf channel on here by a country mile. Thanks again m8 really enjoyed that 👍
Phenomenal, Erik.
You're a master of this style of content.
One man's opinion; leave the shot-by-shot vlogs to the guys who do those well, because no one does the 'soul of the game' stuff as well as you do.
Even as a spectator I get goosebumps walking in to the open👌😁🏌
This needs more eyes on it. Let our guy Erik post this on his YT channel, put it on golf channel, put it on ESPN! Incredible work per usual for EAL.
Great video and Erik did a great job!!
Wow, that was tremendous! Now I really hate this bloody virus. Thank you Eric, well done.
To anyone reading this, if you can, try and watch "Tommy's Honor" which is the story about Old and Young Tom Morris. It is INCREDIBLE. Afterwards, you will understand why The Open is the true finest major.
Tom Watson's winning putt/Jack story got me really emotional......has their ever been a more gracious loser than Jack? He never seemed to mind being beat when someone really rose to the occasion. And Tom Watson seems like one of the greatest guys around, not just in golf, but anywhere.
and btw, EAL, nice work to you and your team
Great job Eric! Fore Please.
I love this game.
The Park family deserve a mention.
Willie Snr won 4, His brother Mungo won 1 and Willie Jr Won 2.
7 Open Championships in one family and history seems to forget them.
Otherwise a really good wee documentary about one of the greatest sporting events on the planet.
Brilliant 👍👍
Nice tribute, EAL.
A true gentleman, Tom Watson.
Watson, absolute class.
Tom Watson, ladies and gentlemen. Class.
Wow!! How did it feel to walk of that green with Watson!?
Perfect.
could someone please tell me the location of the shot at 0:43 ??? please?
Only 8k views? How is that even possible?
Amen
Golf welcomes all but only one will win.
Great video but I was hoping for one thing that didn’t happen: comment from Tom re his near Open win at age 58.... maybe it was a condition for the interview? To not discuss it? If so it shows it hurts him to this day... no Cink highlights either....!
I'm confused. They've been playing golf the last five weeks. All of the other three majors have been rescheduled and will be played. Why exactly can't they play The Open this year? Why can't there be a Ryder Cup?
Vale Jack Newton 🦘❤️
Vale Peter Thompson 🦘❤️
Sadly I don’t agree with the decision “not going to be possible”. The decision was made too early. The OPEN is about players and not R&A profit. The OPEN can be Played without patrons and R&A financially can break even with live broadcast.
Yes R&A, I understand that there will lot more lost balls without fans pointing them out lol
What about the first open golf champion held on Leith links in 1744 when a Dr John Rattery wrote up the first 13 rules of golf . And they played for a silver putter
Why do the Americans call it the a British open when we had it first and it is call THE OPEN
I believe 'the open' is an official trade mark,there is no malice intended when called 'the British open',it's just mainly to distinguish it from various other 'open's'for people who are less well informed about golf,people say 'the Forth railway bridge' instead of 'the Forth bridge'(original) because there are now 3 bridges over the River Forth
Dear o'dear. Wow. Factually wrong big time- at least the St Andrews guy speaking is. Old Tom Morris died in !908 and outlived Tommy his son by 33 years. The Open started in 1860 after Tommy had won 3 challenge belts in a row- 1856-1858. Tradition was he got to keep it after winning three consecutively. 1859 there was no competition because there was no recognised trophy. The claret jug was then installed in 1860 and that what was played for in the first Open; I think also won by Tommy.
It’s called the BRITISH Open!
UK British open presented by her majesty the queen
David you are talking Tom Kite! For Americans perhaps, but to the rest of us it’s THE Open.
It’s The Open Championship. Nowhere does it say ‘british’
No... it’s not
Sam Fisher eh no it’s not - thank God!
