Just before Woosnam putts on the 18th turn the volume up and you can hear ‘Come on Dad!’ in a cute little welsh accent. Sweet.
When the shortest man in the field stood the tallest.
It’s so wonderful to have past Masters tournaments here for the public to see and enjoy! And the image and audio quality of these videos seems so much better than the quality of what was broadcast in 1991. Remarkable yes, but who would expect something less from Augusta National? Hats off to all involved!
Man that three putt on 18 cost Tom a lot of cheddar.
Remember this growing up as a junior, so proud for a fellow Welshman wining a major! 🏴
Woosie had the most relaxed but powerful swing. Always great to watch in his prime.
and then he changed it the next week and was never seen again.
Slight exageration, but I agree this week was the apex of his career. He did go slowly downhill afterwards.
@@truthlifefishing1730 😂😂😂he won 13 more tournaments after this, including the 2001 world match play!
@@magicianstube I meant Majors, but that is quite a rebuttal. Thank you for the correction.
Still have my Spaulding Top-Flight 1, 3, 4, 5 woods from 83 that my Dad bought me for my 18th birthday. Watching these guys hitting these clubs brings back a lot of memories.
I still have my Topflite forged irons. 1-SW
Enjoying the speed of play here, Woosnam getting lots of coverage and just gets on with it.
Great camera work by the ground crew following the leaders, just like being there in person. Brings back great memories from that era.
There should be a golf dictionary with the phrase Class Act...and a picture of Tom Watson. With such a heartbreaking defeat, total gentleman. It is fun to watch Ian, with his small stature, play such a big game with such heart. Thanks for posting.
I was crushed when he lost the open after playing so well, he's got a great swing.
I'm obviously really bored of this coronavirus quarantine to notice stuff like that. These Masters final rounds may just be saving my life!
me too i love them. i'm going to miss the masters so much this year
Amen. Then, I've caught up with all of Tyson's fights, especially his loss to Douglas, Ali's fights, and rewatching MMA fights. But I miss golf so much. We have our health, can't complain too much. Kudos to all those out there working and especially Nurses/Doctors and hospital staff.
One of my favorite players back in the day. What a powerhouse for 5' 4".
scott jamieson hey and Welsh 🏴 I watched play at my course Wrexham when I saw a junior. He smashed the ball...
5ft 4 1/2 I think 🤔
Thank you Augusta National Golf Club to put prior Masters on for public display. Classy.
Love the pace of play of the leaders. Most of today's players could take note of how Woosnam and Watson play. Choose a club, set up and hit it. Those two never play slow.
Same thought here. Also the scores are excellent and challenge any player today.
Yes, but the course was receptive that year after rain & the greens comparatively slow.
Today’s players would annihilate it in the same conditions.
1987 probably saw Augusta at its toughest ever - bone dry, windy & the greens like glass.
Don't forget Wadkins. He was the fastest ever. I think playing with Olazabal really hurt him this day. On 16 I compared their times after teeing up. Jose took 25 seconds while Lanny took 9. Also, Olazabal backed off so many shots down the stretch.
The cameras weren't fast enough to catch Lanny Wadkins play
Agreed Chris Hattings why I love John Daly grip it & rip it.
I had this guy trying to talk me into joining Amway in April of 1991. He saw me on the range, walked over, and started his sales pitch again. He saw I was having none of it, so he resorted to insulting me. "How tall are you, Boone?" "Five foot 5," I said. He said, "You're mighty short for an adult golfer." I said, "I'm half an inch taller than Ian Woosnam." He laughed and said, "He's a nobody." That weekend, Woosnam won the Masters.
My favourite major, certainly masters... Was gripped as a 13 year old kid.... Especially, for woosie what a player
Great video, there is a great photo of Ian Woosnam where he made that last putt. This video reminds me when I was 15 watching the Masters, man I love golf.
Woosie probably had the ideal playing partner on this round. A similar playing speed and pleasant temperament.
my favourite Masters of all time 1991
Love seeing someone this short do well.
James P - Biggest forearms ever.
Yet he made it look so effortless.
@@stephenreeds3672 Seriously... He is one of my favorites now.
Young Woosie used to just pound the ball, by far the longest for a wie man
I watched him play in 1996 with Daly and Norman. Daly chose that day to only play irons, which I personally found disappointing. Woosie easily kept up with both of them, pound-for-pound he was one of the longest hitters on tour. A proper temper too, if things weren't going his way.
This is outstanding competitive play. Thrilling to watch this. Two other things: a) some of the camera footage of the players is just fantastic coverage, and b) the video quality of this is excellent. Earlier posts, especially those going back to the 70's are pretty much unwatchable - the video quality is very poor. But this is excellent. And it is easily one of the most exciting final rounds in Masters history; if you didn't already know who won, you would have no way of knowing. Fabulous fabulous play by all those in the final seven. Just a great Masters to watch!
This was a win/win situation for me,rooting for Woosnam as a Brit but desperate for Tom Watson to win as one of my heroes and one of the greatest.
But what if Olazabal had won?
Would that have been a “win-win-win” situation for you?
Tom Watson using a Ram Zebra. Popular putter back then. One of my favorites.
He suffered terribly with the "yips"
It never looked normal for Watson not to have the old Ping Pal in his hands.
This was also the first in a 16-year streak where the winner came from the final pairing.
Watson is a gentleman and a golf traditionalist
People will never realize how close Watson was from holeing that bunker shot on 18 that would have won him The Masters for a third time. People also never talk about the 12-year drought Watson had on the PGA tour from 1984 to 1996 when he didn't win one PGA tournament, but for the exception of the Tour Championship which he received a special exempt invite in 1987. A twelve year drought and no one talks about it. He did win Jack's tournament in 1996 and then at Colonial in 1998 and that was it. I agree with one of the other commenters here that this Masters loss in 1991 must have really hurt him bad, probably only exceeded by the loss he suffered at Turnberry in 2009.
If he had made that 6 or 7 footer and won the Open in 2009, a few weeks short of 60, it would have been the greatest achievement in the entire history of the game by miles....nobody would ever top it.
Nicklaus had around 20 second place finishes in majors. Johnny Miller had a great comment/quote concerning Nicklaus in majors. Although it's somewhat hyperbolic, it's still a great aside, considering his record, and psychological advantage that held over virtually ever other great player. I believe Trevino, and Watson to be the only two players that turned the psychological aspect, i.e.gamesmanship, around in their respective favor's around on Nicklaus.
The way Ken Venturi says Garrerry, rather than Gallery is classic.
Hi everybody. I'm Orson Cart and I'm here on this, the classic online video sharing site, watching the Master's highlights from 1991 brought to you by CBS.
Sorry, I thought that's what you were supposed to do.
As for Woosnam, the commentators make out that he was relatively unknown. Wasn't he World number 1 about this time?
Yes he was ranked #1 April 7, 1991- March 21 1992. He was then overtaken by Fred Couples for #1 on March 22 who would win the masters 3 weeks later.
@@bretts4544 yeah, he was definitely the best player around that time
He didn’t play very often on the American tour, so to us he was pretty unknown
2nd most painful almost major win for Watson behind the open at age 59
'84 Open Championship arguably affected him in majors for the rest of his career - and this is coming from a HUGE fan of his who cried real tears in '09. 😥 He also had several close calls in the early-mid '90s that have been mostly forgotten - usually horrible short putting in the 4th round killed him in those later years on Tour.
Love that thumbnail of woosy.
😄👍
Great memories. Tom should have two putted the 18th hole and he would of won a truck load more money for a second place finish. Wah Wah!! ..Incredible win by the Welsh Wizard, under a lot of US pressure..Well done Boyo !! Big thanks for posting this one.
To be honest I don't think by that stage he would have cared that much about how much prizemoney was at stake. Watson would only have been interested in putting another green jacket in the trophy cabinet - evidenced by his aggressive play on 13 & 15 and subsequent eagles on both holes.
21:30 the moment Jose was disturbed by the roar on Eighteen!
I remember watching this at the time and thinking it was remarkable how Olazabal was contending, given the course heavily favours right to left hitters (like Watson, Woosnam, Lyle, Ballesteros) and he fades the ball. Ironic then that it was 18 and it favouring a fade was his undoing. Of course I didn't know he would go on to win 2 Green Jackets!
You sure about that? Nicklaus was a fader. So is Woods.
I love litterally the intro of golf tournament , TV , make me nostalgic for the 90s
In 1991 I was in the south of France and I took the road from Monte Carlo that Princess Grace died on. When we got to the top we saw a sign for the Monte Carlo Open and the price was $75 USD and my wife ask the man at the gate if she could just use the restroom and he let us in. Right away I saw Ian Woosnam, Nick Faldo and Payne Stewart. We spent about an hour on the grounds and I bought a Monte Carlo golf towel. What a great experience.
Disgraceful biased commentary at the end there. Woosnam had been on tour for years, and for some of those as a bit of an also ran, so for him to finally win a major at 33 must have been amazing moment for him and his long serving caddy; and for the Summerall and Venturi to expect Woosie to be reserved to spare Tom’s feelings was absurd. Woosie became Masters champion in that moment, but their instant reaction was to call Tom “a great champion”. I hope they grew to be embarrassed about this moment.
I've noticed the blatent bias .. and disrespect to the man who made the Course possible .. yet in the commentry they only give credit to Bobby Jones in another video when Faldo won .
It wasn't him alone .. Scottish Doctor Alister Mackenzie who is credited with it and with other several other noted courses Stateside .
Same when Seve won in 83 , all Venturi could say was that the chip was going fast when it went in!, he must have hated Europeans winning
@@adishazza They spent most of the 80's referring to non-americans as foreign invaders.
Even more ridiculous considering Woosie was the number one ranked player in the world at the time!
Well said ALL.. Just on about Watson most of the time! Let alone Jose!
Bruce Edwards was not on Watson's bag as he deserted Tom for Greg Norman. Watson took him back in 2003 when Edwards became ill. Finally. Watson's shot from the bunker at 18 almost went in on the fly. That would have won him the Masters and the crowd noise would have been beyond belief.
2 irons into the green... they've extended the holes so much and players are still hitting short irons now
Dude. The same guy with the Die Hard 2 shirt two years in a row on Masters Sunday. 15th hole for Woosie's second shot and in '92 on the tenth hole for Craig Parry's shot. That movie was sweet, but holy cow, the first Die Hard was more of a "Masters Sunday shirt.
I was sitting at a cafe in Melbourne, Australia in 2007 and I am looking at a guy at another table and he swear I know him from somewhere. Then I just blurt out “hey, did you play the bad guy in Die Hard 2?” William Sadler looked over and smiled and said “I’m not proud if it, but yes I did!”
Lol... sweet story. Colonel Stewart in person!
forgot how far Woosie could move it in the day, 280, with Balata and Persimmon - impressive
Ian deserved that win. Looked like he really had fun.
This was the first Masters for me. Woosie played awesome.
I was 15 when the '91 Masters was contested.
Tom & Ian - two golf swings made in heaven
The end of this Masters felt like The Ryder Cup US vs Europe. Woosie just outlasted Jose and Tom. A very deserving champion who also was Number 1 in the world at the time.
Woosie and Watson could have been given 9 holes hold up before teeing off, they would've caught up with the next match by the 18th green, and still had to wait for 5 minutes to play the second. Blietzkrieg golf mate!
Woosie was going to win a major, best player on d planet at this time
Faldo was the best player on the planet then
Seve said/ called it the sweetest swing in golf.
87 was when he swung at his best, sweetest swing in golf ⛳ ❤
@@dlamiss
Not in 1991
@@stugtodd2778 If you are talking the 4 days of the masters then completely agree Woosnam was the best.
How cool was Woosnam on that 18th!
D way Wossie turns to help Tom.. Class
How can 30 people not like this
Woosnam made bogey at 13 but considering he hit the tee shot into the water and hit his 4th into the crowd 6 wasn't a bad score in the end.
tale of 2 winners.... "the amateur" followed Greed... "the little pro" followed his heart and remains a Hero.. the interview in Butler Cabin gives them away if you look into their eyes... Phil is cashing checks in his head.. Woosie respects his accomplishment with sincere hope to inspire other underdogs..
Lol. Mr Righteous who hasn't got a clue as to what he is talking about. You do know that your hero Ian Woosnam played and won at the Sun City Challenge in South Africa during the height of apartheid for what was then biggest prizemoney in golf, right? That's what got him there, the $$$$. What was going on in the country in regards to human rights and the brutality of the regime wasn't a concern it seems. There were actually some sportspeople and entertainers who decided despite the big money on offer they just couldn't participate in a country that adopted these practices. Most of them will sell out if the price is high enough however, as you would very quickly yourself. If that sort of money was on the table for you (what Mickelson signed for), you wouldn't even hesitate. And Woosnam would have signed up very quickly for it had it been around in his heyday. Given his criticism of the USPGA Tour in that era and his appearance at Sun City I have no doubt he would have.
I totally agree with the original post
@@Edgar_Randolph see my amended statement above in regards to the original post.
Intestinal fortitude at 1:54:35, just love the choice of words 😀
Nantz has done this since the late 1980s
I remember watching this Live at the time
18:42 The sound of the ball !!!
Wow, it’s like a low grade space laser!
@@samueldownie2187 That was the sound of the open microphones. duh
0:20:00 or so, Kenny begins an amazing streak of folksy golfisms. (starts with "If you look up the word fast, there's a picture of this putt.)
Hahaha
I miss Walter Brennan commentating at the Masters, golly gee!
RIP KENNY
On the 17th commentator says, woosnam, big drive, 280 yards! Granted he's got a persimmon in his hands. I think they should bring them back for the pro game. Woosie is a farm worker, hence the strong forearms.
"Hit it, find it and hit it again." -Steve Pate 1991 @ 36:00
Love Watson! One of my top favorites!
Cool tournament. Best of wishes this year....
Watkins attitude was terrible. I am glad he fell away. He strutted around Augusta like he owned the place. What sort of a pro leaves his ball in the hole for his caddie to fetch.
Why don't you spell his name right first of all and then realize that his caddy was his man for the Masters every year. There was a mutual respect between the two men. Lanny played with his heart like no other. He was confident in his game.
Winston wolf. I followed Lanny from the practice tee to the 18th green when he won the 92 Greater Hartford Open. And yes he strutted around that course like he owned it. And that day he did. That's his style. It's called Confidence. No one had more than him.
@@jamespratt6587 Well Jim everyone has their own opinion. Acting the way he did will draw attention to him which he obviously craves. I just think with a better approach he would of had a better result but that obviously my opinion and not yours.
Judgemental and mean spirited comment.
@@marknorris1381 Thanks
We were there on 18 and named my son Ian!
Faldo forever the clown 🙄. Loved this era of the Masters...
In fairness Jim Nantz set him up with the, 40" short or whatever 😂... Think they got along quite well tho' Woosie and Faldo!!
That was odd because it is set up as such a classy occasion. I don't think that has aged well, and I'm sure Nick regrets it.
Sir Nick Faldo!
18 th hole, amazing that great golfer's hit it so bad off the tie. Pressure.
22:10 Champions Swing!
Interesting that they mention Crenshaw receiving the Bob Jones award from the USGA for distinguished sportsmanship in golf which he conveniently shelved as Ryder Cup captain in 1999 when the US team stampeded across the green on the 17th.Crenshaw should have instructed Leonard to concede Olly's putt but was so desperate to win that sportsmanship became gamesmanship in one of the shabbiest episodes in Ryder Cup history.
Might of been last masters where the players were still playing persimmon drivers and fairway woods...back when they really worked the ball!
Might "have" been, not might "of" been.
Pretty sure Freddie Couples won the following year with a persimmon.
Andy Wright: Langer won in ‘93 with a persimmon driver.
He was the last.
@@MrAJR76 Olazabal in 94
No, Olazabal used a metal driver when he won in ‘94. Taylor Made ‘Burner Bubble’.
You would have thought that Mickelson had won. They probably wish he had.
And 30 years after this Phil wins the PGA
Tom Watson and Greg Norman will rue the day when they opted to take an iron off the 18th.......it cost them both dearly. Cannot fathom why?!
Watson hit a three-wood Michael, not an iron.
Norman was totally incomprehensible in this decision. He was the BEST driver in the world at the time....long and straight. There is no other explanation, other than choke.
@@wreckim I'm sure Norman rethinks that decision all the time. I wasn't alive for the '86 Masters but rewatched it and couldn't believe Norman didn't take a driver off 18.
@@KYExtemper Norman struggled with 18 all of the time. he tried irons and woods off the tee.
Epic screengrab
32:42 When you ask for an autograph at just the wrong time
The commentators wanted Watson to win. They couldn’t help giving away their emotions when Woosie holed on 18
I didn’t know that Hightower from police academy was caddying for Lanny Watkins 1:57:57
Lt. Harris wasn’t happy about it
2:48:11 Baby Phil!!!
It was a great event and stacked leaderboard, loved Woosy winning but would've liked Watson to win also
Was really pulling for Watson. Amazing that like Palmer he never won another major after the age of 34. And who would have known that Michaelson would go on to win three times here. Faldo would get one more too in'96.
Michaelson?
Ah it was such a shame a few years back when Watson was on the 72nd hole of the Open Championship but couldn't bring it home. Would have loved the story
These old Sunday pins are crazy! I much prefer the current Sunday pins!
So I have to see all these big name golfers with no sponsorships on their shirts no one wearing hats
It's amazing how far up the 18 tee box is then compared to now, if it were that far up today, guys would be throwing wedges into 18.
I dont think I've ever seen anyone staying as focused as Woosnam with so much going on. It wasn't like he was in a zone blinckering out everything...it was Nicklaus sort of stuff. HMOG his drive up 17 was massive, then at 18 to think of it in that pressure.
I miss this era of clean shaven classy players.
Crazy, Tom Watson should have had the courtesy to putt first.....stole Ian's thunder.
Why? Watson’s five-footer would have got him into a three-way play-off if Woosnam had missed.
Why therefore would you expect Watson to play out of turn & ‘clear the stage’?!
@@MrAJR76 Crazy answer.....if Tom Had putted first (not out of order in a medal game), and holed it, he would have put even more pressure on Ian's putt. Think before you answer but thanks for the reply.
@@michaelthatcher3825 What??!! That's crazy. Come on Michael, this isn't hard to grasp.
You only putt-out and 'clear the stage' once all hope of victory has gone.
Watson had a five-footer to tie Olazabal & potentially be in a play-off. Why would he putt out-of-turn (and yes, it WOULD be out-of-turn - not that it's a golden rule, admittedly) & rush his shot??
You really need to think about things before posting comments, otherwise you look a bit silly.
@@michaelthatcher3825 Just curious, are you related to Margaret?
Anyone know if this video contains the Rainbow Man (Rollen Stewart) blowing the air horn and setting off a stink bomb?
According to Woosnam, he pulled a muscle with that fist pump when he holed out at 18. Other physical problems, especially with his spine, hampered the rest of his golfing career. The game is not well designed for short people: Woosie had power to compensate, but not the natural leverage of taller players.
Ken Venturi not hiding his hatred of Europeans as usual
Examples?
He would have been hoping that a US golfer would win. I'd hardly call that hatred, that's a way over the top exaggeration.
Hardly any hats!
Watson came within inches of holing out his third shot at 18 and winning his third Masters.
How can a man that small Hit the ball so far Incredibles
Club doesn't know big you are. He was quite strong and REALLY turned through it. Lotta speed for his size. Plus he hit it dead-flush EVERY time.
@@billenright2788: Exactly right. Woosie complains that today he cannot quite turn the way he did when he was younger and in his prime. Even today however he still gets it out there.
Arms like Popeye too!!!
It is funny looking back how the winners who were the unknowns who wanted it the most, odd fellows are in the mix, amongst the best .
Venturi said Watson was courageous and a champion. NO Watson choked and peed the tournament away hitting his drive into the trees at 18 and 3 putting Watson missed a short putt before 18 too.
How was Ian woosnam ineligible for the 1991 masters in December. He won 4 times in Europe In 1990.
It may have bindun. I'm sure boozy woosie had forearms like popeye because he drove tractors, no power steering. They dont make em like this and john daly types any more.
The home fans really wanted a US winner after 88-90.. not to be
Phil sounds like a little kid. LOL
The joy in Weiscopf's voice, "uh oh."
'Big drive from Woosnam, 280 yards.' :)
