- Seve Ballesteros has a special place in the hearts of Open Championship fans. He was always a joy to watch when playing for the Claret Jug.
In 1991, the three-time champion made an incredible start to The 120th Open at Royal Birkdale. The Spaniard led the championship at the end of day one.
This was Seve at his majestic best! A great round of golf from The Open archives.

When was the first time you saw Seve play on television or in person?
Ah, it was probably the International Pro Celebrity from Gleneagles. My dad was an avid viewer. I didn't play golf back then, by seeing Seve made me take it up.
Lytham in ‘88. It was like seeing Elvis
Birkdale in 76 - he was only 19. Led after 3 rounds - had trouble on the final day - but finished with great play on 17 and 18 to tie Jack for 2nd. We thought he’d be a star even then, just didn’t realize how big a star for Europe.
ditto - then in person -'84, St Andrews, Sunday🤩@@il-lupo
gleneagles, bells scottish open with my dad. billy on the bag. par 3 tee box.
He was so admired, a swashbuckling hero of the fairways. When he smiled we all smiled with him. Favourite forever.
When you see Seve swinging the club, you wonder how he ever hit a ball offline. His swing was a thing of beauty.
The most charismatic person in golf, ever. What joy to watch, especially in person and I used to go watch him up close with Lee Trevino in the old Pro-Celebrity at Gleneagles, Ladybank GC playing Jack Nicklaus for the opening of the Old Course Hotel, and the greatest 18th hole celebration, winning the Open on the Old Course. He has left an indelible image in sport and greatly missed.
You could never get tired of watching him swing a golf club
On telly Birkdale 1976, up close Lytham 1988 saw him all four rounds close up. !! Greatest swing ever !!!
Seve a priceless gift to golf.,
Watched him up close at the Irish Open in 1985. He birdied 15, 16 and 17 to catch Langer who had finished with 63. Seve then birdied 18 to win playoff. One of his many great wins, Open champ beats Masters champ. He had an exceptional knack of doing something really special on the 18th when he needed to.
One of the last seasons Seve swung the club freely before the back injury became unmanageable. Absolute genius.
This guy was MAGIC! No one like him before or after
Saw him dozens of times close up. Everytime you saw him was like the first time. Without doubt the most graceful swing ever along with Payne Stewart !!!
No one did it better …. By far the most charismatic and loved golfer ❤️
Seve, un GENIO. Golf EXCITANTE, PODEROSO.
I followed Seve in the third round that year, and in ‘88. The crowd support for him both times was just incredible.
He could be moody and a difficult guy to play with (because he was so much in his own bubble), but his smile when he played well just lit up the world.
It was so disappointing that he faded in the final round at Birkdale, but he’d already had several nervy last rounds that year so perhaps we should’ve seen it coming.
One of my treasured pieces is a program at the World Matchplay signed by the great man hanging in my office at home.
suntory world match play,loved him so much,had it all!
この風の中で・・・・。スイング理論の確立化（＆道具の低スピン化）されつつある今のゴルフならあるかもだけど、当時としては凄すぎ。
He had something extra
Poetry in motion
Golfing World was handed a Great Loss when Seve Died....He was class like Arnie...
