Must See Video: In Play's Francis Ouimet Segment

/

In case you missed it, here is In Play with Jimmy Roberts' feature hosted by Rich Lerner on the anniversary of Francis Ouimet's historic U.S. Open win.

There's some tremendous historic footage in this, including Ouimet talking years later well as scenes of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer in their offices reading old newspaper clippings, paying tribute to this monumental event without paying tribute in the usual sitdown interview way. Powerful stuff.

There is also footage from Saturday's The Country Club reenactment of the historic day artfully woven into the feature. The only complaint and it's a big one: it seems they were in a hurry to fit the In Play half-hour format. As with too many of these quality historical pieces by Golf Channel, this should have been longer, with more on Saturday's reenactment and Ouimet's odd relationship with the club.
