Tom Watson wins at Muirfield | The Open Official Film 1980
Спорт
For the first time in its history, The Open was scheduled to finish on a Sunday. In effect, however, it was Tom Watson’s performance on Saturday that brought the American his third Claret Jug.
While his first Open title arrived in a play-off in 1975 and his second only after a duel right to the 72nd green with Jack Nicklaus in 1977, this time Watson showed that he was comfortable leading from the front as well.

What a great era in golf. Few hats and great characters.The lack of commercial branding is so refreshing.
Tom Watson was in a class of his own playing links golf.
I miss this era of golf. So many legends playing at the same time. I wasn’t a Watson fan back in the day, but I am now. He was truly a great player.
Fantastic. Only spoilt by seeing the winner in the title before I watched it!
Brilliant stuff, classic era for golf, only spoiled by so many adverts from you tube
Was a wonderful year, for the majors; Seve winning his first Masters, Jacks comeback that year, winning the US Open at Baltusrol, and then the PGA.
1980 was indeed the first year that The Open was scheduled to finish on a Sunday. It would prove to be a wise move: Wimbledon Tennis Championships followed suit 2 years later.
What a classic, the 1980 Open. Legendary players. Watson absolutely amazing. Loved seeing Trevino and Crenshaw laughing together after they both birdied the 8th hole.
This was my first Open and had Qualified at Gullane as a 17 year old amateur as did Mike Mclean 17 and Ronan Rafferty 16, we had a great picture with Arnold Palmer as our three ages equalled his age of 50. Also the R&A do the lockers in Alphabetical order so mine was right next to my hero's Tom Watson. I think he'd had enough of me by the end of the week but Tom was very happy winning his third Open at the great Muirfield.

26:24 I sure don't miss that sound.
On the course with Ken.
Keep smiling Merry Mex. You'll be back
22:53 Oh God. I have no idea who this Ken Brown kid is, but I was SO impressed by that chip shot, and he followed it up with THAT??? I know there's major championship pressure to consider, but that might be the worst putt I've ever seen. That's a gut punch to ME, and I'm just some guy watching the game 42 years later on a device that hasn't been invented yet.

What was the direction of the wind and how strong was it? That's one of the variables on those links courses.
Love the lack of stupid baseball hats ...
What a shame that golf has lost this wonderful technical ability, as it stems from a more wholistic view of including the minds and attitudes of players like these. There are no players likes this now. They may make more accurate shots thanks to technology, but they are a bunch of juvenile nobodies when to comes to what makes a great golfer. The demise of the human race.
