Javier Ballesteros has seen the putt his dad made on the 18th hole on the Old Course at St. Andrews to win the 1984 Open Championship, and he’s heard plenty about it.
“It was, as he said many times, the happiest moment of his career,” Seve’s eldest son said on Thursday.
Javier made that statement after finishing up his first professional round on the Old Course, shooting 2-over 74 in Round 1 of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
The Old Course is one of three courses in the event’s rotation this week, along with Carnoustie and Kingsbarns.
