Seve vs Azinger at St Andrews on Shells Wonderful World of Golf.

Go to 13 minutes in and Seve out of a fairway bunker and the reaction from Azinger. Mickelsen was one of the spectators following the game and realising that however good his short game is, Seve's was another notch or 2 better!! ;):)

Seve's 2nd shot was never televised - there's only an action photo of the shot after he's made contact with the ball.

What was captured on film was his chip in for birdie.
In fairness there was a gap when he was facing his chip - it was about 100 yards while

One thing that changed my attitude to golf a long time ago.

Greg Norman completing topping a 3 wood off the fairway at Sandwich when he one the Open there

Made me stop thinking that I have to hit every shot really well

I remember watching Seve win the Open each time, and specifically taking the Monday off to watch him win it in 1988. But one of the most iconic moments I remember is this


I remember watching that final round with Price and Faldo also in contention and they played together. What I remember about it was Seve's chip in to the final green and the scowl on his face when it did go in the hole very quickly followed by a great big beaming smile when he realised it did not matter because he coud not be beaten by the other two.
