In the final episode of Season 3 of The Open Podcasts, we relive one of the most dramatic golfing weeks in Open Championship history, with The Story of 2002.

The 131st Open at Muirfield had everything. From anticipation of a third straight major for Tiger Woods, to a biblical storm putting an end to those chances. From a birdie fest in the final round to the first and only ever four-way playoff at The Open. From near disaster for Ernie Els, to elation as he finally claimed the Claret Jug.

With narration from Di Dougherty, and contributions from Ernie Els, Ricci Roberts, Thomas Levet, Steve Elkington, Dame Laura Davies and Gary Evans, relive The Story of 2002 in this Original Documentary from The Open.

This episode has been a co-production from The R&A and IMG.
