Relive Seve’s greatest shots
Five-time major champion Seve Ballesteros remains one of the most iconic figures to have ever played the game of golf.
To celebrate his genius on the course, Quick 9 recalls some of his greatest ever shots to help you remember what made him such a special player…
1986 Masters
Ballesteros was right in the thick of the action in one of the most exciting final rounds in Masters history.
The Spaniard fired two eagles to storm into the lead. However, it was his second eagle, on the infamous par-5 13th, that was the real showstopper.
His second shot, a long iron, hit the green and curled close to the pin. A textbook way to tackle a par 5.
Unfortunately for Ballesteros and his fans, he bogeyed 15 and 17 to leave the door open for Jack Nicklaus to claim his 18th and final major crown.
Tom Irwin
Tom is a lifetime golfer, now over 30 years playing the game. 2023 marks 10 years in golf publishing and he is still holding down a + handicap at Alwoodley in Leeds. He has played over 600 golf courses, and has been a member of at least four including his first love Louth, in Lincolnshire. Tom likes unbranded clothing, natural fibres, and pencil bags. Seacroft in Lincolnshire is where it starts and ends.
