Relive Seve’s greatest shots
1989 Ryder Cup
A familiar duo were in scintillating form throughout the 1989 Ryder Cup at The Belfry.
Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal were trusted by skipper Tony Jacklin to tee it up together in each one of the fourball and foursomes sessions. The pair claimed three-and-a-half points out of a possible four.
And with shots like Ballesteros’ drive on the par-4 10th during the Friday afternoon fourball match against Tom Watson and Mark O’Meara, it’s not hard to see why the pair were so clinical.
The Spaniard’s drive cleared the water protecting the front of the green and landed on the putting surface.
He would roll the putt in for an eagle and the deadly duo would claim a resounding 6&5 victory.
