Seve at Muirfield 1987

MUIRFIELD, East Lothian, Scotland-Old Tom Morris 1891

Muirfield is simply one of the best courses in the world. The home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. Muirfield is the first golf course to be designed in two concentric, opposing loops. The first 9 holes proceed clockwise along the outside edge while the back 9 run counter clockwise in the inner part. It works out that there are no three consecutive holes running in the same direction. The Club has hosted 15 Open Championships since 1892. Although the thick rough and cavernous bunkers, of which there are 151, can make it a very severe test. Henry Cotton called it cruelly fair. Tom Watson said there was not a weak hole on the course. Jack Nicklaus, was so taken with this links he named his golf complex in Ohio, Muirfield Village, after it.

Shame about the 3-putt. Almost a perfect finish to his second round.

He got blown away (along with many others) on the Saturday.

He wasn't a happy bunny for most of the '87 season, don't know why.
