Episode description

Ranked 862nd in the world ahead of The 124th Open at St Andrews in 1995, Steven Bottomley produced an incredible performance, as told in this Original Documentary from Season 3 of The Open Podcasts.

With 10 missed cuts in his last 13 starts, nobody would have expected Bottomley, a player who attended European Tour Qualifying School eight times in his career, to qualify for The Open, let alone make the cut. What he did after that however, was even more remarkable.

With an honest retelling from Bottomley, and narration from Shane O'Donoghue, relive a wonderful underdog story from golf's original major.
