Hard to believe nowadays - but, until Seve as a player and Jacklin as captain came along, the Ryder Cup was no contest and nobody watched it. Amazing the enduring impact that both of them had.

Seve in his prime was incredible...was a joy it was to watch him play!😊.

I was born the same year as Seve (My ALL TIME Sporting Hero) .
He UTTERLY inspired Me & so many of My generation.
Greatest of All Times, arguably.
The MOST ADORED Golfer of ALL TIMES, without any possible contradiction !!!
Soon I must visit Santander to pay tribute to MY HERO SEVE !!!

Thank you for sharing this. Seve was the golfer who inspired me to follow golf and support Europe in Ryder cup. A great player and a successful manager who was snatched away too soon from our midst.

Seve was my golfing hero. Just such a shame the bunker shot in 1983 wasn't captured on camera. That would be something to see again. And again.

On his day at his best he’s still the greatest player ever.

The best shot ever was in 1983 from a bunker on 18th with a three wood. But this legendary shot described by Jack Nicklaus as the best he’d ever seen was never recorded on tape.

[Seanryan]

Wonder if we will ever see the bunker shot with the 3wood from 1983? 'The greatest shot ive ever seen'- Jack Nicklaus.

[dazzanw]
