5. Seve Ballesteros at St. Andrews
The leaderboard was strong. The finish was dramatic. What made this one of the best British Opens was the celebration of Seve Ballesteros, who captured his second claret jug at the home of golf. Ballesteros trailed by two shots against Ian Baker-Finch, who faded quickly, and Tom Watson, who did not. Going for a record-tying sixth Open Championship, Watson was tied for the lead until he went long on the 17th, his ball between the road and wall, leading to bogey.
