Seve the Movie Page #2

but most of the days I didn't go.

I'd make a little turn to the left.

Playing golf with only one club,

you see, a three iron,

that really helped me a lot because,

you know,

I have to hit all kinds of shots

with only one club.

I have to putt,

I have to drive with the three iron.

That is why I have a very good ability,

you know.

If you play with only one club,

it makes you think...

April.

Georgia. USA.

It's Masters time again.

Paired with Gary Player

in this final round

is 21 years old today Spanish star

Severiano Ballesteros.

Winner of twenty professional tournaments

around the globe

before he even got the key to the door.

Gary Player was always my hero.

And I wished already that we were friends.

He is like my father.

He was pulling so hard for me to win

and that's a nice feeling.

When I holed that putt he walked across

the green with a million people watching

"Got it. You reached me to win Masters."

And here's the pride of

Europe, Severiano Ballesteros.

Number seventeen, from about fifteen feet.

Ol, and all is well with the world!

This for a sixty-eight

and a seven stroke lead once again.

And there it is, one more time!

The magic touch of a man,

who not many years ago,

owned little more than an old three iron

and the certainty that some day,

he'd become a champion at this game.

And there it is.

Comfortably parring number 16 and 17.

And here, triumphantly, number 18,

Seve Ballesteros, 23 years and four days

old, of Santander, Spain,

played one third

of the 72 holes under par.

A record, to become both

the youngest winner of the Masters

and the first from Europe.

Son of a farmer, youngest of four brothers

and still living in the house

where he was born.

Severiano Ballesteros!

The 1980 Masters champion!

Ol indeed.

His agent, Ed Barnard told us

that he had been at a luncheon

and he, the agent,

was introduced by the toast-master

as the manager of professional golfer

Ballerina Sevasteros.

The winner of the forty-fourth Masters...

They butchered his name

a week ago, but no longer.

When you win the Masters,

they get your name fight.

Father:

Mother:

Hola, mama'. - Hola, hijo.

Hula, papa'.

Because I was the smallest, I used

to do ab' the dirty work for everybody.

I remember I used to clean up

the shoes on Sunday morning

and they used to give me five pesetas.

Brother:

Seve:

Brother:

I started to caddy when I was nine.

At the beginning it was very good.

But I think it's a little boring

to carry a golf bag to a very bad golfer.

Because they go left, right, you have to

try and find the ball. It's very boring.

But as soon as I started practicing

I enjoyed it very much

and every time the members didn't see me,
