Severiano Ballesteros’ return to Saint Andrews, the legendary home of golf, has brought mixed emotions. Fond memories but also considerable anger. So you, so recognisable. In 1978, the most famous course in the UK was the scene of the ruthless impact on world golf of a completely unknown kid from Pedreña who had learned to play by sneaking onto the course near his home at night. Only twenty years old and with almost no international experience, Ballesteros arrived at the Old Course at Saint Andrews to fight all weekend for his first major. His aggression, his talent and his anger shook the foundations of golf like no one else had. He was not impressed to see himself face to face with Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Ray Floyd, Tom Kite, Nick Faldo, his idols and the references he grew up with. He was there to tell them that their time was almost up.
