Seve Ballesteros was famous for playing with no fear, a man who never held back and was willing to try the unimaginable and, more often than not, pull it off as well.

In 1979, at the 108th Open, the 16th tee shot at Royal Lytham & St Annes was a blind one. Once again Ballesteros reached for the big stick, despite having a two-shot lead to protect. Sure enough, his drive went veering off to the right and ended up in a temporary car park.

The crowds flocked to find it and Ballesteros was greeted with the news his ball had come to rest underneath the front bumper of a parked car. But that day the rules smiled on Seve, and he was granted a free drop away from the cars in an area with flattened rough due to it doubling as a car park all week.

What followed is Open Championship history.
