Paul Lawrie Wins At Carnoustie | The Open Official Film 1999

There is nothing quite like the drama and emotion of the world's oldest golf tournament. After surviving the 36-hole final qualifying tournament at the start of the week, Lawrie created major history by storming through from 10 strokes behind on the final day. The Scot eventually won a four-hole play-off also involving 1997 winner Justin Leonard and Jean Van de Velde - who had taken seven on the 72nd hole when a double bogey six would have given him the Claret Jug. One of the greatest comebacks in the history of The Open Championship - still talked about today with much interest and excitement. #TheOpen #PaulLawrie #OfficialFilm Visit www.TheOpen.com for the greatest stories in golf Keep in touch with us!
