The '''1984 Open Championship''' was a [[men's major golf championship]] and the 113th [[Open Championship]], held from 19 to 22 July at the [[Old Course at St Andrews|Old Course]] in [[St Andrews]], [[Scotland]]. [[Seve Ballesteros]] won his second Open Championship and fourth major title, two strokes ahead of runners-up [[Bernhard Langer]] and five-time champion [[Tom Watson (golfer)|Tom Watson]], the defending champion.<ref name=bwodisn>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=zv89AAAAIBAJ&sjid=fUkMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3635%2C3974996 |work=Glasgow Herald |last=Jacobs |first=Raymond |title=Ballesteros wins Open duel in the sun |date=23 July 1984 |page=16}}</ref><ref name=svstrfin>{{cite news |url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1984/07/23/page/33/article/seves-strong-finish |work=Chicago Tribune |last=Daley |first=Steve |title=Seve's strong finish |date=23 July 1984 |page=3, sec. 3}}</ref>

Ballesteros' famous fist pump after his last putt is one of the enduring images of golf. It was further commemorated during the [[2012 Ryder Cup]] at [[Medinah Country Club|Medinah]], also known as the "Miracle at Medinah" after Europe's famous comeback. It was also the first Ryder Cup after Ballesteros' death due to brain cancer in May 2011 at the age of 54, and in his memory, Team Europe's kit bore the silhouette of Ballesteros' celebration. The team also wore navy blue and white garments – his traditional Sunday colors – for the Sunday singles.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/sep/25/ryder-cup-2012-europe-seve-ballesteros |title=Ryder Cup 2012: Europe prepare final-day tribute to Seve Ballesteros |last=Murray |first=Ewan |date=24 September 2012 |newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=27 February 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://news.sky.com/story/991472/europe-win-ryder-cup-in-comeback-sensation |title=Europe Win Ryder Cup in Comeback Sensation |date=1 October 2012 |work=Sky Sports |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121112021005/http://news.sky.com/story/991472/europe-win-ryder-cup-in-comeback-sensation |archive-date=12 November 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Skynews">{{cite web |url=http://news.sky.com/story/991472/europe-wins-golfs-ryder-cup |title=Europe Wins Golf's Ryder Cup |publisher=Sky News |date=1 October 2012 |access-date=1 October 2012}}</ref>
