On an unforgettable Sunday in July Phil Mickelson finally lifted the Claret Jug after 20 appearances in the game's most historic major. The sun-baked course at Muirfield was rock hard fearsomely difficult and should have been alien to the left-hander from California. Instead in the balmy Scottish weather he thrived. 'The Greatest Walk' retells the story of an intriguing week that served to enhance Muirfield's deserved reputation for identifying the best. With special interviews of those most deeply involved and exclusive footage from an event that will live long in the memory the DNA of one of sport's most captivating dramas is revealed. Tiger Woods threatened to end his major drought a fun loving 49 year-old led at halfway and Adam Scott came close to redemption. Going into the closing round Lee Westwood looked set to prevail but when it mattered most Mickelson delivered a rare brand of excellence to finally prove his mastery over links golf. Many believed that becoming Open Champion was beyond the popular American yet after producing what he described as “by far the best round l ever played Mickelson proved his doubters wrong. As he strode up the 18th fairway the Claret Jug almost in his hands he could enjoy the moment; he could experience ‘The Greatest Walk’.
It would probably have been the greatest sporting achievement ever. When Tom Watson walked up to the final hole at Turnberry needing par for victory the world held its breath while it waited for a new hero. But the ball slipped past the hole when Watson wavered over his 10-foot victory putt and Stewart Cink took victory after a four hole play-off. Our hopes of immortality were denied and Cink became the Champion Golfer while Watson became a champion man. So many men led the Open on the final day making the 2009 tournament one of the most memorable ever. At various points in the afternoon three different Englishmen had led with Ross Fisher keeping his mind on his golf and his pregnant wife while Lee Westwood was reminded how brutal and unforgiving the Scottish links course could be and Chris Wood looking like a future winner. In the end Cink won his first ever Open but crushed the dreams of a 59 year old legend and may just have become the biggest villain in the history of the tournament! That's why we love sport and what makes this DVD compelling viewing. Relive all the tension and the magic at Turnberry in this Official Film of the 138th Open Championship.

The 2008 and 108th U.S. Open took place at Torrey Pines Golf Course San Diego California from 12-16th June 2008. It was to become the most dramatic US Open ever with the latest installment of the Tiger Woods Shock-And-Awe Golf Show. After completing 90 holes over 5 days both players were still tied. The championship reached a sudden death playoff for just the third time because of Woods bothered by an aching left knee all week and the dogged desire of Rocco Mediate the No. 157th-ranked player in the world to not quit believing he deserved to be in this position. I think this is probably the best ever said Woods ranking this his 14th professional major ahead of his 1997 Masters and 2000 U.S. Open wins. The hyberbole doesn't end there. The victory moved Woods ahead of Jack Nicklaus and JoAnne Gunderson and into a tie with Bob Jones for the most USGA titles ever won. Jones and Woods both have nine. The U.S. Open is the second oldest USGA Championship by a single day and is the jewel of the USGA competition. The event has evolved into one of the most prestigious championships and is played by the world's best players. Experience all the greatest moments from The 2008 Championship in this memorable programme.
