I had that one as a poster in black and white, now framed and on my daughters wall.
The original would have been B&W I would believe [1953 Merion I think]
I/we also have one of Carnoustie 1953 both fabulous images.

"The Shot" Christy O'Connor's shot to the 18th at the Belfry at the 1989 Ryder Cup. It secured GB & I a 13-10 win. Painting by Graeme Baxter. We have a copy of this, signed by Christy, in our clubhouse. I was an acquaintance of his in the late 60s when he was an assistant pro at my club. In those days he was tall & skinny, I doubt he was more than 10 stones. When his portly self appeared on the European Tour I couldn't believe he was the same person.

Definitely the top one, with Seve celebrating his Open win.

The greatest Open :
Absolutely gutted when Tom didn't win again in 2009 when he deserved to. At the age of 59.

I assume you mean this and the fist pumping that followed
Seve had long been a favourite of mine and that victory was just another iconic moment for me

Exactly - I didn't see this live - set off camping that day - can remember first time I saw that pic on the back of a paper next day. I've worked alongside Dave Cannon who took that pic at a couple of tournaments, it was his first Open, probably the best golf photographer during the years between then and now.
Dave Cannon had a small studio around the corner from my house (more an archive/storage facility) and he always had some picture in the window. I met him once coming out and asked if he could get a Seve autograph but he never did!.

To be fair if someone asked me to get a player's autograph I wouldn't do it either - Sorry Homie
