Very enjoyable and suspenseful

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2017)

I happened upon this movie through On Demand and it grabbed my attention and did not disappoint. It goes for 2 hours and possibly the editing could have been tightened up but the story line is compelling, and so one has to see it to the end. I enjoyed Eddie Lowery who played Francis Ouimet's caddie by default, but he proved to be a great adviser, friend and encourager. My favorite line of Eddie's was: "Read it, roll it, hole it," on the last hole of the playoff at the US Open in 1913. Vardon was classy as the British opponent who also came from humble beginnings, and as it said holds the record for winning six British Opens. I think most anyone would enjoy this movie. I liked Shia LeBeouf as Francis. Shia considered this part as his first coming of age role.
