The Greatest Game Ever Played
A biopic of 20-year-old Francis Ouimet who defeated his golfing idol and 1900 US Open Champion, Harry Vardon.
Critics Sentiment
Francis completes his victory to win the 1913 U.S. Open
Francis fulfills his promise and works at a sporting goods shop
The dramatic rise from Francis working in retail after his qualifying failure to receiving the USGA president's personal invitation, jumping from 5.5 to 7.8.
The film follows a classic underdog arc, starting moderately with Francis's early inspiration and development, dipping to its lowest point during his period of defeat and retail work, then building steadily through his tournament invitation and preparation. The sentiment peaks dramatically during the U.S. Open playoff rounds, where critics found the golf action genuinely gripping and the class-barrier triumph deeply satisfying.
