The 1984 Open Championship was the 113th Open Championship, held 19–22 July at the Old Course at St Andrews in St Andrews, Scotland. Seve Ballesteros won his second Open Championship and fourth major title, two strokes ahead of runners-up Bernhard Langer and five-time champion Tom Watson. In the final round, Ballesteros birdied the 18th hole to card a 69 while 54-hole co-leader Watson bogeyed the 17th for a 73, which ended his bid for a third consecutive Open.[2][3][4]
