The 1984 Open Championship was a men's major golf championship and the 113th Open Championship, held from 19–22 July at the 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, the defending champion.[3][4]

In the final round, Ballesteros birdied the 18th hole for 69 while 54-hole co-leader Watson bogeyed the famous 17th (Road) for a 73,[5] which ended his bid for a third consecutive Open.[6][7][8]

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, 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.[9][10][11]
