The Phantom of the Open

Maurice Flitcroft (Rylander) is a dreamer and an unrelenting optimist, who, as a professional crane operator from Barrow-in-Furness, managed to qualify for the British Open golf championship in 1976 despite never having played a game of golf. This true story follows Flitcroft as he managed to play the worst round of golf in Open history, simultaneously displeasing the golfing elite and turning him into a folk hero. Above all, Flitcroft was able to show his family firsthand the importance of pursuing your dreams.
