Golf's greatest stories continue on The Open Podcasts, as this week we look at the tale of Brian Watts.

A Japan Tour star in the 1990s, Watts' life and career in the game seemed to all build up to the 72nd hole of The 127th Open in 1998. With English heritage and vast experience in windy and difficult conditions, the American came just six inches away from claiming the Claret Jug with one of the best bunker shots in Championship history.

With colour commentary and narration from Shane O'Donoghue, enjoy Watt’s remarkable story in this Original Documentary from The Open.
