The Phantom of the Open is the tale of unwitting golf sensation Maurice Flitcroft and how his showing at the British Open Golf Tournament of 1976 made him one of the most talked-about legends in the game. Maurice's optimism and unrelenting spirit helped him gain entry to one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the UK. While he qualified for the 1976 Open, he ended up shooting the worst round of golf in the tournament's history. You know what they say: all press is good press, which definitely applies to this heartwarming rags-to-riches-to-rags-again story of infamy in golf.
