Relive Seve’s greatest shots
1988 Open Championship
The 1988 Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes was the first time in the competition’s history where play had to conclude on a Monday – but not even the rain delay could stop Ballesteros from producing his magic.
Locked in a battle with Nick Price, Ballesteros dealt the finishing blow with a deft chip on the 18th that settled close to the pin.
It would prove to be his last major title.
