From Seve to Tiger, great St Andrews moments as 150th Open heads to home of golf

The Old Course at St Andrews will host the 150th Open Championship from July 14-17.

Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the most memorable moments to occur at the most-used venue for the game’s oldest major championship.

When Rocca duffed his chip on the 72nd hole into the Valley of Sin, his chances of winning the 124th Open looked to have disappeared. However, the Italian somehow regained his composure and, as clubhouse leader John Daly looked on, holed his long birdie putt to force a play-off, dropping to his knees and thumping the turf with both fists in celebration. Daly won the four-hole play-off by four shots.

Although playing in separate groups, the final round of the 1984 Open effectively became a thrilling duel between Ballesteros and five-time winner Tom Watson. As Watson was making a costly bogey on the 17th after firing his approach over the green and close to the wall, Ballesteros was coaxing in a curling birdie putt on the 18th before celebrating with a memorable fist pump which would go on to become his personal logo.

"That the one you talking about?"
